Pain in front of stomach when walking?



Recommended Posts

Hi to all of you veterans!

I'm out 2.5 years from my surgery with no problems, other than gaining 20 pounds back. I had lost 80 and now it's 60. I have had a complete change of meds, due to a serious back problem and that's part of the gain, but the other part, I have earned and am trying to get back on the wagon.

My question is for you vets. A few days ago, I started to feel a sort of pain while walking? It almost feels like jiggling, but that things are loose, if you can picture that? I tried one day to wear about 4 pairs of underpants, some with control panels, to see if that felt better, and it did. Do you guys know if there is any medical problem related to this, via my surgery? I know I need to get into my Dr., but am wondering if something has come loose? Other than that, my appetite is normal, my restroom issues the same. Any ideas, or should I see my regular MD instead?

Gratefully yours!

Thank you, that's my instinct too. I now realize when I'm ready to "go", that it hurts to walk and kind of hurts until it's exactly the right time to go. Once I go, it's relief. (It;s to the worst pain in the world, for sure, but uncomfortable). Anybody???? Have you had that?????

Could be a hernia, but guessing can make you unnecessarily scared! I'd go to the doc and listen to your body's needs. Go gently! Good luck!

      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?
