My surgery was 2/26/19 and I’m just always feeling crummy. My incisions have for the most part healed well. But I have a constant ache in my stomach. Sipping fluids hurts eating well chewed foods hurt(sometimes doesn’t stay down) both times it was a meat product. Dr said to move back to purée which i did but the pain is still a constant thing. Anyone else have this happen and how long until I feel normal again? Sometimes i regret this due to this pain.

You may need to undergo another endoscopy, make sure there are no ulcers, strictures and make sure the operative path is all clear inside. I have been on liquid/puree since last August because of those things in my life, and it is not fun to go through. Never have dumped , the Big bugaboo of bypassers, food doesn't stay down long enough to do that! One blessing, if it can be called that, food doesn't stay down long enough to develop a smell, still can't hardly eat meats, Precious Pouch may be 6 months old but she is in charge and has NO Sense of Humor. But I take each attempt as still a growth experience. And do my level best to smile😝 no matter what comes or comes up.

I had my sleeve surgery in 2013. Eating anything is a problem to this day.

Glad you are working with your surgeon on this issue. I hope they can figure out your situation and you are out of pain soon. (hugs)

      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?
