discomfort and pain 15 months later



Recommended Posts

So for the last few days I have had some real discomfort. I can eat and drink but fill up sooner (not so terrible). I have some real tenderness on the upper left abdomen and feel bloated. Not constipated. I am seeing my doc later in the week but wondering if anyone has any ideas?

For me it was a worst case scenario. At around the same time PO, I had that kind of discomfort/pain and it ended up being in internal hernia that opened up and my gut had come through it and twisted so I had a partial obstruction. Hope they figure it out quickly!

What have you been eating? I get bloaty and feel like I'm going to get the foamies if I eat fried food or something my stomach still won't tolerate (bread, tortillas, Pasta, potatoes).

nothing to do with food. have been eating really well and nothing in my diet changed. definitely something mechanical methinks, especially with the tenderness.

I have the same discomfort to the left of my pouch and under my left ribs. I have my 3 month follow up today and I plan to ask about it! Hope you hear back from your doc and we can compare notes later.

Edit* I just noticed that my appointment is on the 19th, so not today.

i'm 16 months out and LITERALLY going through the same thing. The bloating makes me have a hard time breathing, like i need to take a deep breath to catch up several times. Did you experience that, too?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
