Doing well for weeks then sudden pain?



Recommended Posts

Almost 7 weeks post bypass. I have been able to eat and drink without much issue. Last night I had about 2 ounces of salmon. Felt ok but full, drank some Water about an hour later and it felt full compared to my normal to the point that I skipped my chewable Vitamin. But not painful.

Then this morning I had some water, later went to have a shake and it’s uncomfortable. I tried about 4 oz over 30 min and switched to water.

Then I got 12 ounces of the water in about an hour without issue.

I went back to the shake and it was really painful with one sip. I even got a little nauseous. So water only the rest of the day. It feels kind of tight. I later tried a few ounces of the shake and it seemed ok.

So now I tried a quarter of a piece of cheese (had it before without issue). Now I have an ache in the middle of my back like I did earlier today.

I don’t have any sign of a leak no fever high heat rate etc.

Could trying salmon make me feel ok initially but 12 hours later feel bad.

Today when I drink I do burp some occasionally.

I have no idea what’s going on and I’m worried something is wrong.
Any ideas??

I know , not very helpful but call your surgeon if your symptoms continue .

I agree - call your surgeon. It could be something simple, like progressing too fast in your diet, or it could be the beginning of a stricture. Just monitor it and also let your surgeon know what's going on.

      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?
