Poking pain from inside out



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 5 months ago. I have had 3 fills now and have lost 70 lbs. I haven't had any complications at all. Yesterday afternoon, I started having a poking pain at the long incision site above my port (which is on the right side). To begin with I thought there was something on my shirt that was just poking the site. Later I realized it is from the inside poking towards the outside. It bothered me during the night enough to wake me up a few times. It is still poking now and anytime I move I can feel it. It actually kind of feels like a small needle poking from the inside. Has anyone else had this problem and know what it is?

I am more recently banded than you, but I have never had that feeling. It doesn't sound good, though. I'd be interested to know what it is, when you find out.

      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?
