Gas Pain Revisited?!



Recommended Posts

6 weeks post op. have been fighting a sinus infection for the past month.. Still coughing like crazy and extremely hard to the point of pulling muscles in my side and throwing up. Nausea every day mostly mornings but does linger into afternoons especially when coughing a lot. And for the last 3 days my shoulders have hurt like the did when I first got out of sugery.. I'm thinking gas pains again but I don't know.. Anyone else revisit the gas pains several weeks out? I'm going to doc in AM so will ask then but was hoping I'm not alone... It's been a very very tough 6 weeks for me.

Sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation.. iPhone's are not the easiest word entry devices.

Sorry to hear about your setback. Let us know what your doctor says and prescribes. I am curious as to what medicines are safe for the sleeve. My surgeon said to take Tylenol Sinus for sinus problems, but I think there must be safe alternatives.

I went back to surgeon today. They were more concerned about the nausea and coughing than the shoulder pain. She did say that it was too far from surgery to have anything to do with that, however. They also think the coughing is what is causing the nausea and vomiting.. Ugh this is miserable!! I did go to my pcp also today and they prescribed cough meds with codeine.. Hopefully it will help.

      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.
