Yeah I had that. It was really the worst because nothing helps with it. It is just a dull constant ache.

Good news though, it should be gone soon.

I hope so because the pain can be intense and then just go away.

I had that pain and thought I was going to die ! it only happened once I tried to sit or stand up or get ready to lie down, my breathing would get short as well. My nurse told me to get some gasX, I took it and continued to walk and it went away almost over night. Now the only pain I have is in my left side from my largest incision

It is outside your intestinal track. Gas X did nothing for it for me, you just have to move as much as possible.

I would get a pain in my shoulder early on. I figured it was gas. I noticed it when I would eat too fast and It was always the left side.

Call your surgeon if you question the pain or it's intensity. Although it could be normal - it could also be a complication such as blood clots. Please don't take the chance that it's the same pain others have.

I'm doing a lot better now.

      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?
