I had gastric bypass and a gallbladder removal on Tuesday, October 18th. This Sunday, I was having a lot of pain and shortness of breath so ended up going to the ER. While there, the nurse practitioner on duty pressed really hard on my stomach a few times. Ever since then, I have had a horrible pain in the middle of my stomach that even hurts to the touch. My question is, could she have hurt something or messed up something with my bypass by pressing so hard? I'm worried because it really hurts bad.

Hi! I was just in the ER for the same pain and ended up undergoing a second surgery because my bypass was too narrow causing me all the pain! Consult your surgeon! I had two surgeries in less than two weeks! Listen to your body, only you know what you're feeling!

One of the dangers of surgery is the development of blood clots. The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism are sudden shortness of breath or chest pain with breathing. I would recommend you let your surgeon know that you have experienced shortness of breath and pain.
