Just had surgery on the 28th. Everything went well with the surgery. The surgeon did say he had to put a stitch in my muscle where he took out one of the laparoscopes because it was bleeding more than he wanted it too. Man, the pain in that one area is pretty bad. My other sites seem good and relatively pain free. I'm having some back pain too. All of this normal? I'm having to take hydrocodone every 4 hours to deal with the pain in that one site and the only comfortable position is lying down at this point.

i had the same thing ... extreme pain on the left side, and then they want you to cough!?! That was the toughest part but the worst of the pain was gone after 3 days. Hang in there! You CAN do this! It will get better.

For me, it was normal. Not fun, but it was my normal.

My surgeon said that my incision site on the left just under my bra would be the most sore because that's the largest one that he makes his largest incision because his stapler goes thru that port & he moves that one around a lot more then the other ports. So that might just be why you are extra sore there beyond the extra stitches & bleed you had.

I am three weeks out and I occasionally have that same pain . It hurts when I forget and move too quickly . I go for my check up Tom hoping to find some good news . Good luck it will ease up and not hurt every day .

      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?
