Lower belly pain - 1 year out



Recommended Posts

So I am 1 year out from bypass. Here lately I have been experiencing more and more camping pain in lower belly. To the extent of me getting into a fetal position and hoping it goes away. I can not stand straight up because it hurts. When gas comes out, it is a relief but pain comes right back.

I have not been 100% on the no sugar thing. I notice it happens on the days that I had sugar. This morning I ate a donut. By 2:00 I felt the pAin coming. Now it is 10:30 and I am hunched over in severe pain.

Is this due to sugar? Dehydration? Something else? Plus when I do have sugar, I really don't dump immediately.

Not sure exactly where your pain is. Are you eating nuts, seeds or coconut? I have had pockets of diverticulitis and it is so painful. If you have take a break from them and see if it gets better. Don't ignore if it doesn't get better. Hope you feel better soon.

      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?
