possible complication freaking out a bit



Recommended Posts

<p>I am freaking out a bit. I tried looking up what it could be. I have left side pain , i guess where the band is placed around the stomach from the info i could find online. Basically by the ribcage. It is all puffy and extends out. I don't have any other side effect, i can eat and drink just fine. What could it be? It looks like a puffy lump, i guess the size of a cell phone sorry thats all i could think of as a comparison and it puffs out about an inch. The area is not warm or does not look infected. I hope I am making sense here. What could it be? I don't want to over react and but i am kinda worried. i have not eaten anything that could be stuck. anyone have any thoughts what it could be?</p> <p> </p> <p>Cindy</p> i am not sure if i posted this in the right forum, and my port is under my belly button so it would not be the port area.

Since its been almost a month after your surgery, call your dr and explain it to him/her. I wouldnt want to guess because I am not that familiar yet with the things that come up. Hope all works out, keep us posted....Dave

I got banded 10/26 I also have a raised area but more in the front. maybe not a big but I am not concerned It is swollen. I go to the Surgeon tonite and will question it. Dont forget they move alot of stuff around It could be a musssle healing.

      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?
