I keep getting a cramp on my left side. It starts near my bra line and goes down my side to my gut. It feels possibly intestinal?

Has anyone had this type of pain? It has happened while eating but also while not eating. It's so bad that I have to stop walking and wait for it to end. Thankfully it only lasts for a moment and then I'm perfectly fine again.

I was told after my surgery that this was completely normal and to expect it. It is an incision on the inside on the left that is hurting. Ask your surgeon to be sure but I was glad they told me in advance so I didn't worry about it.

Thanks everyone! Mine has gotten better, it doesn't happen as often and I'm currently only 8 days post.

One of your lap-incisions on the left side is where the large piece of excised stomach was pulled out from.

This is why one incision on the left side is so much more tender.

      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?
