Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 2/2 and since Friday afternoon my thighs and both hips hurt so bad. I can't even get comfortable enough to rest/sleep, has anyone had this and how long did it last Thank you so much for your replies.

Hi I'm sorry you're experiencing pain. This soon after surgery any pain like what you're describing should be reported to your surgeon's office. Give them a call and let them direct you on what you need to do.

I hope you feel better very soon.

Take Care,

Kathy

Hi hope ur feeling better. Check with your doc. Most likely its from the straps they tie us down to the operating table with. I had the same as well as bruises on my thighs, shoulders and calf/shins area. I was having a meltdown thinking it was bloodclots. Turned out They were all from the straps likely too tight. I was awake when the one on my hips was placed and it hurt. Pain lasted almost 2 weeks. Good luck. Feel better.

      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?
