3 days out- weird "displaced" feeling on upper left side



Recommended Posts

I'm sure this is normal but I'd love tp hear I'm not the only one. On my upper left side it feels really weird. No pain, just like the organs aren't where they are supposed to be. Obviously I know they move things around a lot, I just didn't know if anyone felt the same. Otherwise I'm doing ok, tolerating all foods and drinks at my stage and I pooped! Yippee!

Probably from a port site they used to access for surgery. It gets better.

Can you help ME? I want to post a new topic but I don't know how!!! I only know how to answer new ones. How do I post new?

The feeling is normal, it's something we all have experienced. They put "posts" into you that help them to inflate your tummy so they can see and move around in there during the procedure. For some reason the upper left section of people is always mentioned as having more pain and discomfort. It goes away and if it doesn't for you I'd mention it to your surgeon.

rte837, you need to go to the main page under your surgery type and start a new conversation there. You can't do it from this conversation/topic.

I think the weirdest thing is when I roll on my side and feel things move! Gross! Haha. Walk around with my left upper side feeling out of place and extended. Normal right?

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
