Day 23 post op. Still in pain >.<



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done 10/3 and I thought I was getting better but I'm actually getting worse. I have this sharp sharp pain above the incisions where they remove the stomach. Went to the ER yesterday and they ruled out gallstones and infection. Just wanted to know if anyone else still had pain at this time?

I'm a month post-op tomorrow, and I haven't had any significant pain since the first week. Did you talk to your surgeon?

It's possible that you've got a case of pancreatitis, it does happen sometimes. You'll have to talk to your surgeon to get a real answer, probably some bloodwork - hard to diagnose these problems online.

I had a pulling feeling from the top of the biggest incision which is the one they took my stomach out of...

My surgeon and nurse said its completely normal. Its being caused by the stitch that they put into that muscle. My incision finally stopped hurting around week 4... Walking helped even though it was a bit painful... I am almost 6 weeks out and dont feel it anymore.

At almost exactly a month out I had sudden severe pain- the ER ruled out gall bladder issues. They gave me some IV pain meds & a bunch of Fluid - felt better the next day. I was definitely dehydrated

      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?
