One week and one day problems



Recommended Posts

But not regrets!

I'm starting to have some serious back pain. I don't know if it's from carrying myself differently because of the pain or being in bed more. Or maybe from not being able to sleep on my tummy. Also nearly constant gas. Burping all the time. Any thoughts?

Could Be either of those, could also be your center of balance is shifting, after years of a big booty and a slightly smaller but still obese gut, mine is iffy, gonna have to keep learning my new body. But I am happy to see my Fat Shell breaking away and going for good! 224 pounds yesterday, started at 365+ so the 100s my next goal , maybe by this fall? I'm in it to Win it and I Will!

It can be all of those problems or it could also be Constipation. I’ve never been blessed with regularity in that department but if it’s been a bit it can cause horrible lower back pain.

i have been through this as well as far as the gas walk alot helps purge the gas and try to have a bowl movement it can help with the back pain as well

I had back pain (lower first then went to upper) for several weeks after surgery, and also hip pain while we are at it. My doc AND masseuse AND chiropractor all suggested more or less that it was because of the weight loss and my body was adjusting to my new proportions and centre of gravity, and should go away once my body got used to it (and i got in some exercise). And yep, by my 2 month mark the aches and pains were gone :)

      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?
