Almost 4 wks out, new pain



Recommended Posts

Did your pain go away? I don't want to be so anxious about a leak' date=' but scared to death. It is not excruciating pain by any means, but it is different and scaring me...[/quote']

My pain is gone today. I used a heating pad and that helped big time! I also took it easy for a few days. When I called about mine they said the same thing about a pulled muscle. I can see where it would be easy to pull that incision muscle on the inside.

I am doing much better, used Miralax and pain is going away. Didn't realize I was that constipated, honestly have never been constipated before...So glad to be in less pain! Thank you all for your advice and suggestions, I really appreciate it!

My baby had a really bad leak after his bowel resection(he was 30 days old when the leak happened, 25 days old during the first surgery). They knew to do an x-ray to check for a leak because he all of the sudden started running a fever, his heart rate was all of the sudden elevated, his tummy was no longer soft, and his blood pressure was really low. So most likely you would have a lot more symptoms if it were a leak. I hope you feel better soon.

      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?
