It sure what's going on but I been getting leg pain. :( wondering if I should call my doc I just hope it goes away soon :/

Is your leg swollen at all or warm to touch? I am wondering if you have symptoms of a blood clot. Hope it gets better soon.

My post op paperwork says to call the doctor/go to hospital if there is any leg pain. I had leg pain though, and talked to my MIL who had a blood clot. She assured me it was just sore muscles from all the walking.

If the pain is constant and doesn't go away in resting position then you should go to the hospital immediately. Also if it is hot to the touch is another sign. A blood clot is not something you want to play around with. If you have chest pains or trouble breathing while having the sore legs, call 911.

My leg pain was achy, but was worse when I walked around. If I was just sitting there and not moving/touching my leg, there was no pain.

Hope this helps, and I hope it's just pain from walking or something simple :/

I had leg pains aswell starting bout 4-5 days after surgery. It lasted for about 2 weeks. Asking my family doctor she said that sometimes it can be due to magesium deficiency. She gave me some powder to buy but I didn't get it because it was too expensive and the pain wasn't too terrible. It did sort itself out a few days after I started eating soft foods.

The pain was muscle pain, felt like I just came back from weight training.

I had my sleeve done 5 weeks ago and I also am experiencing leg pain. Mine is from the knees down. I know muscle pain and I don't think that is it. It is not hot or warm to the touch. Just sensitive! Hoping it will go away. I go back to Dr. for 6 week check up and that will be one of my questions. I did mention it after three weeks when I started my monthly cycle (which was aweful cramping that I have not had since I was a teenager) and they thought it was just sore muscles. It is still sensitive and its been 2 weeks since then. Will let you know what I find out.

      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.
