Help! So much pain!!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery Date April 8, 2009. I had my last fill Dec 30 and went almost 1 month with pain from eating. It was pain in between and just below my breast area. I am figuring that is something stuck in my band. I am going in in two days to get some liquid taken out of my band. Just made the appt today. I had a horrible weekend with pain from most items I ate. salad hasn't bothered me in the past week so I decided to have a salad tonight and big mistake. I am in so much pain, I have been doubled over and crying (not like me at all). This pain is different and I believe it is gas pain. It is in my lower abdomen. I have taken 3 pepcid dual action chewable tablets and 4 tsp of Maalox advanced maximum strength and no relief. What can I do? I only ate about 2 oz. This has been going on for about 1 1/2 hrs. Any suggestions?

I'm so sorry to hear you're in so much pain right now. I had bad lower abdominal pain, took 2 chewable Gas X and dranks some hot herbal tea, went to bed and felt fine in the morning. I hope that you feel much better after your appt. Take care.

You poor thing! Try only liquids until you get in to see doctor. Your fill might have made you to tight :) Its miserable I know, went 6 months one time like that. Good luck, I hope it gets better for you soon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
