I'm currently 7 days post op. I understand we have made major changes to our body but I'm starting to get concerned...

I get very random sharp pains in the same location. Only way to stop them is to put pressure on my stomach... It only last for a few seconds but can come in multiple attacks (randomly)

Is this normal??

could it be the stitches pulling...? where is the pain located?

less than 2 weeks post op for me I got a bad case of bronchitis and was hacking coughing one night (I didn't have any cough Syrup :( ) and for the next 2 weeks I was in soooo much pain! dr said it was because of the stitches

i had those after surgery for at least a week. i thought they were spasms. they would last maybe 15 seconds. it went away though after a week or so.

I'm also 7 days out and get pains, a cross between heartburn and gas, in the same spot that is debilitating for like 10 seconds. It happens every evening when I lie down for bed. I figured it was gas or just my positioning...it's weird though

I read my surgical report and did not realize the number of cuts the doc has to make to have the body let go of that part of the stomach which is removed. Quick pains that disappear quickly could be spasms or adhesions, sutures, but I bet that is very scary to experience. I can't wait to here what your doctor says.

Thanks everyone for the responses.. Sorry with no internet it was hard to reply.

So since I posted this the pain has slowly came to a halt. The doctor said it was my muscles causing the pain.

      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?
