Hi All,

I'm not sure what this but ever since yesterday,i've had a pain between my breasts and around the port. Not a horrbile pain but noticeable. I haven't done anything different. Any ideas ,what this could be ? It's similar to more like a dull ache. :cursing:

Hi congrats on becoming a bandsters. I'm out 5 months. They pain could just be everything settling. Sometime when you move the sutures to hold the band and port in place pull a little. Give it time and good luck.

Any kind of unusual pain, especially in the chest area, should be reported to your doctor just to be cautious.

You have been banded around a month now and are now probably moving towards more solid foods. It could just be an adjustment factor. Have you noticed it more after eating or is it just a dull ache in general? Have you had any pain in this area before? Did you start any new exercises or more strenuous activity in general?

Thank you for your response. This helps me to feel a little more relieved. I'm not exactly comfortable right now. I do see the PA on Friday so that's good.

      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?
