Where exactly? I ended up back in the hospital for 4 or 5 days because my lower left side/lower left side on my back (wrapped around) hurt and psi meds weren't helping much. Turned out to be a splenic infarcture. Basically part of my stomach shared a blood supply with my spleen, so cutting it out stopped blood flow to that part of my spleen. it was no big deal though, the tissue there scarred down/shrank and stil works!! About a week after no more pain!

I am going through the exact same thing. My pain is in my shoulder and abdomen. Only thing that helps is a heating pad on my shoulder--and the help is minimal.

I'm two weeks out and I still have some pain on my left side. It'll go away gradually day-by-day. A heating pad has worked wonders for me.

Sorry to hear that. Heating pads have helped me also. I'm a week out, and still am very sore. The gas pain is gone, but my left side can get bad especially with any rotational movement. I'm a side sleeper and I always end up on my left side. I think that is my main problem, have you looked at how you sleep?

      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?
