I was sleeved last Monday 5/5 and I know it's still early on but I have horrible pain by my right ribs. Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it's just where the stomach was cut? Ty

know many have had a hiatal hernia (not me)

that "might" be an attributing factor to your pain in the rib area

check with your doc

hurting when you laugh ???? knock it off!!!! :D

no more coughing allowed - suck it up!!! :D

deep breathing????

hmmmmmm, stop breathing :blink:

nawwwww, keep on keepin on :)

feel better

Seen my doc today my staples were taken out and I found out the pain I'm having is from my intestinal problem.

      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.
