I've asked this before, but...



Recommended Posts

I have an ache in my stomach. It is not always constant. But, it comes and goes. It situated lower in my stomach. I had a burning pain and nausea before surgery and it was located below my sternum.

Could this be the same thing just lower, because they reshape the stomach with the sleeve?

I do not know how to describe it. Maybe it's a burning? I'm not sure. In any case it makes me feel ill for the moment.

Thank you for any input you may have.

Also, I see my PA in 6 weeks, so I definitely will bring it up. I was having ot before and discussed it with her at 2 months post-op and she said we may need to do a scope, which at this point I say YES!

Also, I'm almost 5 months post-op.

How intense is it? Is it sudden onset or always there? Either way, it's worth a note to your PA to ask the question and describe the symptom. Sorry for your struggle!

It feels a little more nauseating than a pain. It's random and I can't seem to pinpoint a reason why it happens. My PA said maybe it is a stomach cramp.

I feel it is not an emergency so I will just bring it up Aug 23 at my 6 month checkup.

Thank you for your response!💗

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
