I would call your doctor ASAP. I don't think anyone here can know what the problem is. Even if someone experienced (what sounds like) the same thing, the cause could have been something completely different than what may be going on with you.

I called my "emergency number" and talk to some idiot who's NOT a bariatric doc at all, he said wait till Monday and see my doc. But I have a gut feeling something is really wrong, and I live in a very small town in Iowa, my surgeons office is over an hour away. None of the ER docs around here know jack....very frustrating, can't find anything about it anywhere online either. When you all get fills does your Doc seem to get the needle in a little, and then kinda "poke" around to get it in the port? He seems a little rough, my last fill was like 3-4wks ago, andsince then iI had one or two days with very slight pain, but today has been awful, can't even arch my back without feeling a sharp ass pain!

I can so relate to being so far away from your surgeon and how hard it is to try to explain to reg docs. At the very least call the doc office and leave a message with his nurse and they will get back to you.

      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! 😞
