yep most assuredly, went through the battery of tests only to eventually show it was sympathetic gas pains. food moves gas out into nerve areas that reflect pain in that area. weird I know. Not saying its the same for you, but thats what mine was.

@@on the fence 2 - that is all very normal. The pain in the shoulder could be from gas, it could be from a repaired hernia. Or it could be referred pain from the nerves around the stomach. They are all possibilities. I had it until about six months. Now here's the fun part. After I eat too big of bites I get the pain there too and I'm at nine months. So eat slow eat small bites and the pain does go away slowly but surely

Sounds like your gallbladder may be acting up, that is, if you still have yours. The symptoms you describe, sound exactly like when I had my gallbladder attack. It's very uncomfortable! I do 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?
