Stretched pouch/ slipped band???
tanyadee replied to tanyadee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks....i was just curious...i be feeling stuffed and i have not gotten my first fill yet...i just had surgery on 12/17/09 and i will have my first fill on 1/12...wish me luck... -
I am just curious to know how can one tell if the pouch is stretched or the band has slipped????? I hear this soooo often and i just wanted to know if there are any symtoms???

OK...this is the deal....i just got banded on 12/17/09 and I am doing fine except for the pain that I am having around the top portion of my incision where the port is...the pain is located just below my left breast right under my rid cage....it only hurts when I sit/lay down...I can really pinpoint the location with my finger....WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON????? I thought it was gas but I know the feeling of gas and this is not it...HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS FEELING????

Thanks...I do take gas-x strips and that definitely takes away the gas but I still have that pain just above my incision...I go to my follow up appt. w/ dr on 1/11 and I can't wait to see what is wrong...(if anything is wrong) I have gotton some real good advice from this message board. When I first started to experience gas, my drs. office stated that I needed to get some tums...that did not work for me, I've found that the strips work much, much better...thanks anyway, I'll keep you posted on what the deal is once I go to my dr.
