I had the gastric bypass done a few days ago.

I had gas pains and took gas-x tabs that go on your tongue which helped. They went away after the 3rd day other then that no pain. It's best to go to hospital if in pain or call Drs office see what they recommend.

I am experiencing a very shap pain in the lower left side of my stomach. Does anyone have any experience with this at all?

I had the same. That is the area that has the most trauma during surgery. It takes a little while longer to heal than other sites. Hang in there.

Yep they just keep telling me to take pain killers ... apparently some people heal over on that side slower than others

Yaaay !! Can we be buddies? [emoji8]
On day 6 or 7 after surgery you won't feel much pain hang in there! do you feel pain on your lower left side stomach when you walk a bit too much? I asked my surgeon and he said you shouldn't move about too much in the first week..

Yes we can!! [emoji16]

It's just the tightness and the fact I can't stand up completely straight yet because it is so tight. But yeah the lower left side probably hurts the worst.

It's so weird cause my surgeon and everyone is telling me to walk as much as possible. Everyone says different things.

I am 8 weeks post surgery (March 1/17) and now on solid food -the first two weeks were a breeze but i developed a pain near my sternum followed by trouble breathing and extreme fatigue..it turned out to be an ulcer which landed me in the hospital for 5 days.. if you are concerned about pain and it doesnt go away after taking something stronger than tylonol, there could be any number of issues. Passing it off might make things worse--make sure you get your surgeon's opinion or go to emergency

I'm with you too. I've got an occasional sharp pain in the same place. And pain/uncomfortableness when I try to lay on my side. Had my surgery 4/21

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
