Left side burning pain



Recommended Posts

One issue left side abdomen pain. My pain has been great no meds really needed but 3 times since I had surgery a week ago, I've either turned over or trying to sit from laying position, left side a little below the waist line burns like fire. Only in the moment I move, a little tender after but felt literally like something tore. Anyone else

Yup! That's my sore spot too. If I move too fast it reminds me. Not burning, but a lovely sharp pain. Weird thing my left thigh gets really numb...like I could get a huge tattoo and probably not feel it...that may be too much as it turns to pins and needles as well.

Oops hit post too quickly. Wanted to say it's fantastic you are recovering so quickly and my pain meds gave me crazy nightmares! So still using Tylenol to ease that sharp pain.

Its a burny sharp pain after I'm OK. Not severe enough for a pain pill because it goes away but definitely ouch don't move like that again. How is your eating coming. My going on stage 3 quickly had me a bit nervous.

Definitely muscle from where they cut thru and moved around. I've lost a total of 48 lbs to date since January 18.5 since I started the liquid diet I'm 9 days post op. I already had a little hangage in my stomach area when I turn at night I feel like my cushion there is gone and it flops a bit. Found a flat pillow helps this pain pressed against me when I roll

      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?
