Gastric Sleeve Left Side pain



Recommended Posts

I just have some questions. I posted this a couple of days ago. Are you supposed to have muscular pain in the left side regularly? I have this pain that starts from the place where they make the main incision. Ive been having this pain for 2 years. It feels like a cramping pain. Has anyone else experienced this? Are you supposed to be in any sort of pain?

I had an on and off pain in my left side that felt like the type of cramp you would get when you are out of shape and try to run ( a stitch in your side). But I haven't had that pain since month 3 post op though. Are you a lap band patient still?? or have it revised to to something else?

i had mine changed to the gastric sleeve. it was actually a banded plication that was changed to a sleeve because there was apparently too much damage to the stomach. i really hope there is a way to correct this. its really a strange thing.

You've had this pain for 2 years? Have you asked your surgeon?

      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?
