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

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
