Leg pain

Good morning my friend. Is leg pain normal ofter gastric bypass or could it just be gas in the leg because I know gas travels? Please help thank u

No, leg pain is not gas. You didn't mention where the pain is or what kind of pain, but I will say this:

Do NOT ignore leg pain so close to any surgery as you could be dealing with a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). Call your centre and see a doctor right away with leg pain - doesn't have to be a centre surgeon, your family doctor or a walk-in clinic - this needs to be checked out ASAP.

Edited to add: DVT = Deep Vein Thrombosis = blood clot

Yes get it checked out ASAP.  I am two weeks preop, my foot and leg swelled up like a balloon(still dealing with a swollen ankle and foot) It didn't end up being a clot but was extremely painful.  I am now having to deal with gout which I have never had before the surgery.

you defiantly want to deal with it sooner.  I waited and was told if I had of been in sooner they would have been able to treat it a different way then now, which they are still trying to sort out.

I'm sorry you're going through that. I've had DVT a few times and it is scary business, with the greatest risk that the clot travels to the lungs. I hope things are sorted out for you very soon.

Ditto what Karen said. 

In this situation, please get it checked out.

Take care,

Tara

Looking for an update on you, Franny - hope you got this sorted out.

I have dealt with leg pain and ignored it that resulted in multiple clot's to my lungs. Not from my operation Please get this checked ASAP
