How much pain is too much? I've used all my pain meds (as ordered) and not excessively. But I'm Hurting so bad I can't breathe sometimes. I'm constantly bent over in pain. Is this normal ?? It comes and goes.

Also, I had gastric bypass march 3. So far I have lost 22 lbs. 286 to 262.

That sounds like too much pain. Call your doctor only he can determine how serious that is. it could be something as simple as gas that happens quite a lot but still better be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon

Severe pain always means call your doctor. No exceptions. The cause may very well not be serious, but pain itself is always a concern. Call your doctor.

Call doc!! It is what you are paying them for. Even if there is nothing wrong you made need stronger pain meds!

Everyones pain tolerance is different. I had quite a bit until about three weeks post op, while others in my group had none. I even have a high tolerance! Call the surgeon and get relief. Nothing to be ashamed of!

Anyone had any issues feeling like something was stuck??

I'm on soft/ puréed foods now. Almost 2 weeks post op. I puréed some tuna for lunch... Now I feel like something is stuck in my chest. I'm drinking ok and Water is going down it just feels really uncomfortable. Any ideas?

      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.
