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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
