In the past I have had ovarian drilling, endometriosis burning, and exploratory surgery on my ovaries. Has anyone else been through this who can compare the pain levels between any of those and VSG? Each of those surgeries were done in a similar manner with small incisions in the abdomen and gas pumped in.

Thanks in advance.

I have had procedures done on my ovaries, but they were always done via the vagina. Those I never really had much pain at all. I have also had 2 csections. I found the amount of pain to be about similar to my csections, which wasn't too bad at all. 1 thing that surprised me, and it really shouldn't have, was that I was expecting the pain to be in my "belly". But your stomach is higher in your abdomen and thus the pain was higher. Almost lower chest, just below the breasts. Just take your pain medications and stay on top of the pain so it doesn't sneak up on you, and walk to help with gas! Good luck!

      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?
