Has anyone experienced pain in the stomach not necessarily incision pains but actual upset stomach pains? Last night I was up for hours with an extremely upset stomach that was constantly rolling, gurgling, gassy, etc. should I be concerned? It kept me up for hours.

When were you sleeved? I was sleeved on Friday and my stomach won't stop talking. I know it's gas pains cuz the moment I started rocking in place to loosen up, I began belching and a lot of the noises stopped.

Call Doctor.

Thanks. I did call the doctor. They are thinking it's a lactose intolerance. I cut out dairy today and felt better. I did try a pudding cup and was miserable after with nausea and gas. I'm thinking that's it. I'll keep trying to cut it out for awhile and then try to add back.

I got chewables too, was afraid to chew them thinking it was gonna get stuck, but the gas pains were horrific. I have had two chewables with no problem. Woot woo. Gas pains have subsided... THANK GOODNESS!!!

I asked the pharmacist at Target and he orders it for me at no extra charge. Now I just call it in to him and he orders it and is in the next day. They really help me a lot.

      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.
