My hip joints hurt. I can't figure out how it relates to surgery, but I never had it before!

Maybe Vitamin D is low? A friend who had the surgery told me he had joint pains and took Vitamin d and it helped. I have had more knee pain recently I increased my vitamin d and it helped. Be careful with d it is an oil soluble vitamin and can build up so don't take megadoses.

I have/had RA since before and after surgery- It was bad after surgery mainly due to the shock of my immune system with anesthesia etc. But since losing weight the joint pain has gotten better. I dont know how long it has been since your surgery but I know they that the position you are in during surgery for 1-2 hours can sometimes cause pain immediately afterwards for a few days but that is purely positional- If it continues I would mention it to your PCP- you may need to see a rheumatologist.

Talk to your surgeon about the pain in your left arm. Is it just in the joint or all over? I don't mean to scare you at all,,but a symptom of a leak can be left shoulder/arm pain. It was one of the first symptoms I had.

No it's pain in my elbow and wrist! It goes away with a heating pad! And it's not consistant! I started powder Vitamins in my Protein and it is getting a little more tolerable!

Yea I have the same pain in my elbows and wrist. I, too, am wondering what it is and I am also at the end of my third week? Just start about a week ago. It's driving me crazy. Can't sleep too well.

      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.
