I am 3 weeks out today and over the last week I have been having really sharp pains on my right side and my back has been really hurting. I was around and it helps but than comes back. Sometimes its so bad i can't even move. I havent been hungry at all so I am having a hard time getting all my shakes in and per my doctors orders today is the first day to try soft foods but I am scared to try. Has anyone had this problem.

Yes! I had my sleeve 8 days ago I have the same problem I have the pain in my right rib! Its hurts when I breath, or take deep breath, or laugh Or move a certain way it feels like I'm being stabbed in my rib! I thought it was trapped gas but I'm thinking its not. But by your defiantly not alone on this. I'm going to ask my Dr about it tomorrow.

Are you having bowel movements or passing gas? I had this when I was not drinking enough Water and got stopped up. Not fun! Drink more water, take some stool softeners if you need to and its ok with your doc. Definitely check with your doc about the pain.

      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?
