Severe abdominal pain 10 months post sleeve



Recommended Posts

Is it normal to all of the sudden have severe pain like this at 10 months out? I am definitely constipated and have not had a movement since last Friday others than a little diarrhea. Did and enema Sunday and it didn't help too much. Lots of pain all day Sunday, Monday and today. Went to general practitioner yesterday who order sonograms. Ruled out gallstones but showed I have 1.8 cm. cyst on ovary. Doesn't seem like that would be causing all this gasto discomfort and pain. Just did another enema and have decided to take some magnesium citrate to help with what I feel is Constipation. Has anyone experienced anything like this at almost a year out? I'm hurting so bad and starting to worry that there is an infection in my sleeve related to the staples or something. I was sleeved by Dr. Ponce in Mexico so I can't just go to my sleeve doctor. Thanks for any and all responses.

Hello There:

Sorry you are in so much pain. I recommend googling ovarian cyst and reading the symptoms and when to go seek medical attention.

Just glancing through the mayo Clinic:

The symptoms of ovarian cysts, if present, may include:

  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Pelvic pain — a constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs
  • Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends
  • Pelvic pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Pain during bowel movements or pressure on your bowels
  • Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
  • Fullness or heaviness in your abdomen
  • Pressure on your rectum or bladder that causes a need to urinate more frequently or difficulty emptying your bladder completely

When to see a doctor

Seek immediate medical attention if you have:

  • Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting

These signs and symptoms — or those of shock, such as cold, clammy skin, rapid breathing, and lightheadedness or weakness — indicate an emergency and mean that you need to see a doctor right away.

I hope this helps.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
