I'm 2 weeks post op. I was doing some things around the house but nothing too strenuous. All of a sudden I started having pain where my port site is. Anytime I move it hurts really bad. It's a muscular pain. Did anyone else feel this?

For the first two or three weeks I would have a sharp pain near the port when I would bend over. About week three or four, I started moving around a lot more and it felt like I pulled a stomach muscle. That pain was tough and lasted almost two weeks. I thought I had dislodged the port. It's been almost two months now, and it's still tender at times, but nothing like it was. My doc says that's normal. Hope you feel better soon :)

I was wondering about the port pain also. I am a massage therapist, and I returned to work 6 days post op and I have had the port pain to. I also experience it when I eat sometimes too. I thought maybe it had flipped of something. I don't see my Dr. until 2/25. Does the left side of your stomach stick out more than the right?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
