Pain around lower left side



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I had a revision from lap band to bypass. Surgery and recovery went well and I have lost 25 lbs. I am having pain on my left side near my belly button. Has anyone heard of this or had it? I cant put my finger on it and don't see my surgeon till July 24. Any suggestions?

I did not have a revision, I had the gastric sleeve 1 month and 3 days ago. All of my pain and soreness was gone a week and a half ago but two days ago I started having pains on my left bottom side of my belly, right above my pelvis. I feel it when I get up from sitting, or when I stretch my back. Not sure what this could be. I figured it might be soreness from internal stitches, but does it makes sense to get pain after I've been painless for over a week? And I feel like the area of the pain is too low to have anything to do with the surgery. Not sure!

Remember guys muscles and nerves have to come back together. They will awaken and start hurting for a few weeks. Our bodies are amazing how they heal.

      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?
