I’m not sure if they will since it’s at Mayo I really don’t know. I was at their offices and was told that they would let him know I was reaching out but I have gotten nothing. Pain is my everyday as well with all my other issues.

Hi, @cdschuldt - sounds frustrating to be told they'd let your surgeon know you were reaching out but to have gotten nothing.

I have gotten help with postsurgical pain at Mayo (for a prolapse surgery, so a different area) and got consult over the phone when my pain was still ongoing. I also talked to them on the phone about a rash I got after taking a medication prescribed for a UTI I developed after surgery.

I would not hesitate to call the main Mayo Clinic number and ask for the bariatric surgeon on call. Someone will be on call at all hours, and the Mayo Clinic operator can page them for you. This should produce a call back to you and some help with your pain, hopefully very promptly.

In addition to your postsurgical pain, how is your hiatal hernia repair that was making it hard to take deep breaths?
