I got that too, after only 4 days post-op, and I'm still dealing with it. I'm now 12 days post-op, so this has been going on for about 8 days. My doctor told me that it's some intestinal spasms that might happen as part of the healing process. He said it should go away as I continue to heal.

I've heard from at least 10 other people in this forum that dealt with or are currently dealing with the same thing. It would seem that this does not happen to a lot of people but enough of them so that we should not panic or be alarmed about it. :)

Does yours feel like a sharp stabbing pain, the kind you'd get from exercising too hard? That's what mine feels like, and it comes and goes throughout the day.

      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.
