Pain in left side near belly button



Recommended Posts

I am about 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery and I have the worst burning, stabbing pain in my left side near my belly button. I can't lay down or sit for long periods of time because of the pain. Did anyone else experience this and if so how long did it last? I need sleep!!!

I had it also. I think I might have had a small tear somewhere. It felt like a stitch pulling. It was pretty bad. One day I woke up and it was gone with only a lingering soreness/tenderness sensation. I think that was about a month out. This was at the main incision and it was bad enough to bring tears to my eyes. No pain after that.

      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?
