My Bariatric team actually called to check up on me and they say the pain was normal. The nurse said there is a deep stitch down on the lower right side and it's probably just pulling. Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 1 wk post op band to sleeve and for the last day and a half I have had some pain on my lower right side. It almost feels like I have a stitch in my side from running without drinking enough Water. It comes and goes and I don't think it's anything crazy but I was wondering if anyone had experienced this pain. Just wanted to throw it out here.

Yeah I've seen ppl post that haven't had one but more ppl seem to have them than not. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself lol I was not nearly this scared for my band placement or removal. It just was. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I do t even know what my surgeons policy is. I've only met with him once Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you have extra circumstances that kept yours in for 16 days? If you don't mind me asking Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband finds it comical that I am more worried about the tube then I am having my insides moved around lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In the short term it's the only thing that really scares me. When it was taken out did that hurt? Did it feel weird knowing it was hanging out of your insides? What is the general experience of it? I'm worried but not stressed about surgery to much more than normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Even if you only get to 60-75% of the excess weight off with the surgery it puts you in a fantastic spot to be able to do the rest "on your own". If your following your doctors program then you should know how and what to eat at that point and be able to work on your head hunger and still be proud of yourself. That is still over half the weight gone. These surgeries are merely tools to help you reach your goals, you still have to put in the work no matter what you choose. It's great that he's worried about you but I think you should take him to a support group and encourage him to answer these questions there, it could be very insightful for both of you.

What symptoms did you have with your reflux? It's hard to gauge what is normal because when I told my dr about it he kind of looked at me like I was crazy and said he had never heard of that kind of reaction to protein powders Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone else pre surgery get horrible reflux from Protein drinks to the point it felt like a heart attack? I get it so bad that I can't drink any protein powders. I have tried so many. It started as just a small issue when I had the band for a little while and then by about 3yrs post op I had to stop drinking them all together because it became so painful, with nausea, sweating, shaking, rapid heart rate, feeling like a had a giant rock in my throat, etc.... Did anyone with the bypass have this issue before surgery and not have it after? I'm hoping with the separation of the digestive juices the issue will go away.

I verified with my office that tricare prime takes the first weight in number. I was worried about that as well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
