Welp my fellow June 2015 RNY's.....it's my time (6/2)....and I'm at peace....and ready to get the party started and continue this journey to a lifetime commitment of health. It's been 35 years of indulging in bad food choices. ..now ready to commit the remainder of my life to a healthier life....and indulge in healthy food choices; andddd I wouldn't be mad if a sister became a mother along the way

Best of luck to all of you along your journey. ..and let's do this.....and knock obesity out the park....NO MORE obesity labels for me!!!

Good luck with everything! We'll see you on the other side.

I didn't have much gas pain post-op but I remember walking as much as I could to get things going. 8 months seem so long ago now, lol. Congratulations on your surgery! ????

Thanks. . I'm definitely much better from the gas. But have been having a horrible pain on the lower left side of my belly. At first I thought it was my skin ripping away from staples. . But there aren't any staples. ..and nothing showed up on CT scan...so I'm wondering if there is a small muscle tear. ..bc it hurts like hell when I move! Dr appointment next week to check it out again. ..did you experience anything like this?

Hi, I did experience upper left side pain and lower pelvic and bladder pain for a bit. It was a while ago but I believe they sent me for CT Scan and urine specimen test but it was ok. It eventually resolved on its own I'm not sure exactly how long it took. Maybe about 1 month but your body has been through more than you know. I took Tylenol and my prescription pain meds as needed. During your follow-up next week I'm sure they will determine if there is anything else that needs to be tested. Maybe a heating pad may help a bit with the discomfort. Hope you feel better soon.

Ok thanks. ..@@Trayjay33

I am also having terrible lower left abdominal pain! I am postop day 5 and it has not subsided. Even my narcotics are not helping. I have been walking a lot and using GasX and no relief. Today is the first day it feels slightly better. My doctor's office says it is gas. I'm calling them again on monday if I'm not better. Would love to hear if you find something that works.

@@KDM74 I will...it sounds like others have had the same issue. .. they said with time it goes away. .. it's due to that's the side they do all the work on...but I will let you know what the dr says Thursday.
