Upper back pain 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am almost 6 months post-op and am having regular pain in my upper back and sometimes stomach, just over-tightness like I worked out too hard, or stood around too much. I stopped working out as much but the pain has continued, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

If you still have your gallbladder, it might be worth getting an ultrasound to check for stones.

I had this a couple days after surgery. I am 5 days out and have not felt it again. I assumed it was from lying in a bad position or something. The nurses told me it was trapped air in the body.

Back pain in the upper right quadrant is associated with gallbladder disease. If you still have your gallbladder you may want to get it checked out.

No gall bladder here either. :) They ripped it out 30 years ago. :) Besides, my pain was on the upper left. But thank you for the info! This is important for all to know! I did not know that fact.

      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?
