Lap band - Gastric Sleeve Back and Left Side Pain



Recommended Posts

I have really bad pain when I sit down. I had lap band to gastric sleeve surgery. I had many tests and X-rays done. When I sit down I am in really bad pain and I've tried many things to remedy or get rid of the pain. Has anyone on this forum or in any other place heard of this before? Can anyone help me with some help with dealing with this?

Just my experience: Constipation? I was getting terrible pains in my left back side around the kidney area no matter what position I was in. It was getting worse and worse each day. I saw my GP who checked urine and did not find anything. She took a listen to my bowels and they were really quiet. I took some Linzess the next few days and the issue has been resolved.

Re: The pain is painful when I sit down. It "clicks" and hurts when I sit in a seated position and can be very painful. It cramps and spasms in the back. What can I do about this pain? Has anyone in this forum ever heard of this? It feels like the pouch or the spine cramps up.. I had x-rays, mris, etc.

      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?
