Had the same thing. It was gas, it lasted off and on for 3 weeks and just quit a couple days ago. Hot pads and simethicone help. Are you regular?

Take a GasX strip and walk walk walk. Good luck, I hope it wears off soon.

I had the same thing about 3 weeks out. I was so scared I felt like I was dying. My surgeon said they put a few sutures a the top of the new pouch and it is the pulling. My radiated into my back a week later than finally went away. Hang in there.

      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?

      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! 😞
