Did anyone have lower stomach pain?



Recommended Posts

Hi I am 3 weeks out. I have lower left abdo pain that feels like a stabbing pain. It's been there since the op, but now it's getting worse..was on and off.. But now if a stand up its always there..it's driving me nuts. Anyone else experience this???

Have you been passing gas and/or using gas x?

I am 13 months post op and still have strange feelings. It's most likely gas but I would call your surgeon to be on the safe side.

Yes...it wasn't a pain that was always there. It was usually aggrivated when I twisted to my left or stood up after sitting for while. Getting in and out of a car was the worst. Its a sharp stabbing pain, but I couldn't really pinpoint where it stemed from. It's was in between two of my left side incisions. It started going away about a week ago. I'm 20 days post op. The pain is not as pronounced now. It feels like something that is healing.

      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?
