Does anyone have pain-not cramping or abdominal pain but pain and tenderness when I move or bend over a certain way. Called the doc and the nurse said it wasn't a stretched pouch - no other stomach-typeproblems such as reflux. Pain started right be fore my first fill and then got worse - around the largest scar - is that the port??

Feels like a pulling, stabbing pain when I move wrong.

Anyone else have anything similar????:)

I believe that you are about 6-7 weeks out? At that stage, I still had slight pain when I moved a certain way. If it is severe or troublesome I would talk to my doctor.

I get it once in a while too when I bend that certain way. Mine's my port area and the sutures being pulled and stretched on. Sometimes I even feel a pinch when it rubs against my muscle wall. I also have to remember, since I'm losing weight and exercising, my muscle is also tightening up so i get the "rebound" effect.

Thanks to all for the reassurance - I still can eat too much but I am hopping that I will feel more restriction and less cravings as they tell you after the next fill or too.

It does feel as though it is a pulling, pain around the port area so is probably of no real consequence, although it is pretty painful at times.

      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?
