Post-op Pain. Please help!

[American_beauty 3]

My sleeve revision to bypass was done in Mexico 4 weeks ago. Performed by the same surgeon who did my sleeve. He was great with the sleeve so I went back.

I had lots of post-op pain the days following the procedure. Surgeons went back in to do an endoscopy to check for a leak, but found no leak. They said I was actually constipated (sorry TMI) and likely causing the pain.

Once returned hone I developed a post-op infection, went to see a general surgeon who gave me antibiotics for a superficial infection and said that was all I needed. Thankfully it wasn’t a deep infection.

I have had so much difficulty getting anything in. I carry Gatorade zero around with me all day, as well as Water and Protein Drink. I’m so thirsty but it hurts to drink much through the day. I do still try. I’m not getting in my Protein, but am getting in my Barimelt vitamins!

The abdominal pain has increasingly gotten worse over the past week. I’m curled up in a ballin bed, and my gastric area is sensitive to the touch.

Any thought/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I would see a doctor ASAP.

Sorry you are having so much trouble. I’m sure you are miserable!

If you develop a fever please get yourself to an ER! That could mean you have a more serious infection!

Yes, Thank you!

I think you should at least go to an urgent care center or your doctor, if not an ER. If you are curled in a ball in bed that doesn't sound good.

I hope you feel better soon!

Hi sorry to hear your in pain. I was having terrible pain like that , I did 3 endoscopies , the first two showed nothing, I thought I was going crazy, I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t touch my pouch, it would stay for a few weeks then stop for a few weeks . This went on for 2 years. The hospital would tell me to go see my dr , they did nothing. So I found a gastroenterologist. I couldn’t go back to my gastro surgeon, he moved ,I had my surgery 12 years ago. My stomach dr did another endoscopy and said I have acid reflux, I never had heartburn, but he started me on pills, it took some pain away but not all of it. He told me I needed a colonoscopy ( sry) , well after that test ,we found out I have diverticulitis. This all happened since end of 2018. Find another gastroenterologist, I went thru 3 to figure out I’m just a little crazy lol. Good luck and hope you feel better soon and out of pain soon .
