Some of you might remember me mentions a pain under one of my incisions that hurt when I moved certain ways...hurt quite a bit actually inless I was in the right position. I called the doc office and they said muscle or scar tissue pulled. Well, yesterday I had a new pain in the incision next to it. It burns like someone is sticking me with a hot knife and there are very few positions I can get in to to relieve it.

Walking, getting up, sitting, bending, turning over in bed...PAIN!!!! It even burns when I touch it. There is no swelling or redness but it is at the point where I will not be able to go to work tomorrow. I plan to call the doctor but does anyone have any ideas what it is and how I can help it? Why do these things always happen on the weekend?

i had the same pain (felt like something was tearing in me) and it finally went away about a month after surgery...the doctor said it was where he put a tight stitch at the muscle and it was tearing a little and maybe even bleeding until it completely healed...hang in there!!

That burning can be scar tissue too. Sometimes when you stretch or move in a certain way, it pulls. Even though it hurts, the good news is, that it is a good thing when you tear that scar tissue. It can keep you from being restricted later.

Maybe its worth giving them another ring in the morning... just to make sure you keep them informed. Hope you feel better soon!!

      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?
