The stitch finally popped! Yay :D

I'm 31 days post-op, and the stitch in my muscle on my right side has finally popped...at least I think that's what it was. Anyway, the point of all this is: No more pain!

Woohoo!

Can you describe this feeling?! I'm only 5 days PO And felt like a bubble popped on my right side with a warm running sensation?! Could this be similar to yours, but earlier?!

I went to sit up from the couch I was on and there was just a painless and smooth feeling of release on my abdomen, and after that I wasn't in any more pain.

I'm 4 weeks post-op, so it might not be the same thing you had as your stitches aren't healed yet.

Mine popped Wed at about 3 weeks PO. I was in the motion of sitting down and I felt a pinch then all of the pressure release and actually heard a loud pop. It was awesome because I was still having to put he heating pad on it a night. After that I did not have any more pain. I was sore there for a couple of days but now when I sit, walk, bend over or anything else I don't have pain :)

That's great! I was hoping it wouldn't take that long. A month is a long time to feel the burning, pinching pain. At least there is an end to it in sight.

      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?
