Does anyone hurt bad enough to go to the E.R. with abdominal pain after weight loss surgery?

Question

i have bad pain so bad i wish i would die just wanted to know if anyone felt the same

Answer 1

I'm so sorry about the pain your experiencing. I personally haven't had weight loss surgery, but I've had other surgeries and all I can say is when you are SUFFERING like you obviously are then that is a signal that something is going on that requires attention.

What does your surgeon say? I would think he/she would need to be following up and doing what is necessary to address the pain issues you're experiencing. You shouldn't be having to rely on Doctors in Emergency that don't know your case to address your needs.

However, if the pain is SO severe, you definitely need to be seen in Emergency so they can run tests to see what's going. I just think your surgeon needs to take an active role in this.

I hope you get relief soon!

I had that surgery and lost 170 pounds but in the beginning it was h**l.I got a wound infection and I was in constant pain for at least 6 weks.If you are having that much pain you should call your surgeon because he knows your history and can do the follow up.Good Luck
