I had my VSG on December 30, 2013. I had no complications after surgery, though it did take 9 days to have my first bowel movement, and I developed a short-lived rash from the surgical glue on my external incisions. I had a lot of gas pain the first month or two, but have not had any problems until now. I decided several months ago that I wasn't in the mindset to lose anymore weight, after having lost 80+ pounds before surgery and another 40 after surgery. My weight has been stable for the last 5 months or so. My surgeon told me she was disappointed in me, and now I don't want to return to her, mostly out of embarrassment. For the past four or five days, I've been having a lot of abdominal pain. On Friday, October 10, I took an Imodium with anti-gas medication in it to prevent the loose stools I felt coming on and to treat what felt like gas. I then felt constipated on Saturday, but I did have a regular sized bowel movement in the late afternoon. I have been in some pain today, and I am not able to eat more than one or two bites at a time because it hurts so much. I am mostly feeling pain in the upper abdomen, but some in the lower abdomen, around my belly button, as well. It feels like there is a vice around my stomach, and it's almost a burning sensation. I take Omeprazole, the generic for Prilosec, daily, and I have since I developed severe heartburn in 2007. I typically pass a lot of gas, and I've only passed a little this entire weekend. I am concerned at this point, as it's so difficult to eat, and I will call my primary care provider in the morning, hoping she's not closed due to the holiday. Has anyone had any post-op complications this far after surgery?
