Sometimes, when I bend forward, I can feel a slight pain (more akin to soreness than sharp) in my stomach where the band is. Is this normal? I got my band on August 3rd so I am not far out of surgery.

Thanks!

I was banded on July 27 and I also have some pain in that area....sort of a sore,pulling, sometimes spasm like pain. I get it when I lay down, and when that happens, I put a pillow kinda under my tummy while I am on my side, that helps a lot. It is getting better, but yesterday, I bend over without thinking and felt that pulling sensation again. Was sore at bedtime, so I did the "pillow trick" and it helped.

Don't know if this is what you are experiencing or not, but if it is really bothering you a lot, give your doc a call. I plan on asking mine about it.

Hope this helps.

      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?
