Hello again. So two days ago I pulled a bad mommy and picked up my 2 year old son (those darn baby eyes). The rest of the day I was fine, but the next day I woke up and layed on my left side and Had a very sharp pain under the left side of my ribs. It hurt whenever I moved, ate, and especially when I would breathe in deep. Today it wasn't as bad, but I can't turn certain ways and it definitely hurts when I breathe in deep, but it does feel better. I am afraid I may have pulled something, but my biggest fear is a hernia. I called the surgery clinic and they said if it hurts bad go to the emergency room, but on a scale of 1-10 I am probably a 3 or 4 steadily, so it doesn't seem like an emergency to me. So my question really is does it sound like something any one of you may have had? If so what was it?

i pulled things a couple of times, mostly just stretching too far puts a tug on the incisions. If it feels better I wouldn't worry too much. Just pay attention for things getting worse and tell your sweet baby Mommy has to take care of herself for a few weeks and just give him hugs without picking him up!

thanks. it's so hard sometimes lol after 2 days the pain did go away thankfully. I returned to work today and was able to make it the whole shift without any pain. still can't eat much, but it's not pain that does that. it's nausea.

Did thou ever find out what happened? Or did it get better? I've been feeling this way for about a week now.

      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?
