Hi everyone,
I'm so scared right now, I'm not even sure where to start.
I had my lap band done march 23/09, so its been just over 3 weeks now. Following my surgury, I was in a lot of pain, mostly in the upper stomache, and I vommited following my surgury 3 times (Probably from the anasthesia). Anyways, I havn't had much surgury before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, so I thought all this was normal. A week later I was feeling good.
Anyway, I have followed the diet perfectly, I have done everything just as I was told, but I have a problem. I can feel the band (or something) in my upper stomache (in the middle, just below my bra line. I have never been a small girl, but my stomache has never been big in this area, and there is definitly something there. I was telling a friend, who had lap band done, and she told me the following,
- she didn't have much pain- at all following surgury....
- she didn't have anything like this upper abdomen thing
- also, she said that my band might have slipped because I vommited.
Honestly, I am really scared. I can't afford to have another surgury ( finacially, mentally, and physically).
Has anyone every had anything like this? Or has anyone ever heard anything like this before?
Please help, I'm desperate
