Unusual Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I'm noticing that there had been this pain that Ive gotten over the past three days where I feel tightness in my back on my left side.. Not sure if it's gas cause it doesn't move around. Had anyone experienced something like this?

Could it be a gall stone attack? When i had them it felt like a belt of pain radiating from the right-side. At the worst the pain came like contractions. This luckliy happened to me pre-op so the surgeon removed it while doing my op!

I would recommend that you Call your doctor whatever....

Feel good

Sounds like either gas or gall bladder. My gallbladder pain was right under my breast in front center. The gas plain was in my shoulders. I would call your doctor to be on the safe side.

When was your last bm? I had the same pain on my left side and after I had a bm the pain went away.

Actually, it hadn't happened at all today. I'm thinking it could be gas but it's so uncomfortable and I know nothing about gallstones... Could you feel them all over?

If you think it's gas pick up some gas x stripes. Gall stones I believe the pain would be on the right side. It's probably gas or you need a bm.

      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?
