I got my sleeve on 6/02/16 I'm 4days out I was wondering if the pain I feel when I get up and sit down is normal . The pain feels like everything is pulling on my right side and that's the side they pulled the stomache out. I'm new to this so don't know if that is normal pain ?

Yep. Normal. Walking and simethicone should help the gas pain.

Very normal. I had pain when I would sit and then stand up or bending over for about 2 weeks after surgery. Dr said it was very normal. Then one day I woke up and it was gone!!

I had my op 30/5/16, i have the exact same pain, cant sleep on my side, first night at home i tried to get out of bed on my own and nearly passed out from the pain. Am too scared to cough or heaven forbid, sneeze! Called my surgeon and yes its the side where they pull the stomach out of and the incision is a little larger and therefore there is internal stitching. Am 1 week post op and its getting better each day, slowly but surely. Take it easy.

      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?
