Guest BikiniBeachy Posted February 17, 2010 I'm 15 months post op and succesful with weight loss. I am grateful for my band but for the first 6 months, I had a gassy pain that was localized right above my belly button. It was hard to sleep on my stomach, but doesn't hurt when I am still. I did cat scans, saw a the gastro doc, took prevacid, was prescribed mixed drinks, allergy tests, bloodwork, upper gi, colonoscopy - my insurance must hate me! Anyway, my surgeon was stumped, and I slowly started noticing it less. Now, a year after all those tests, it came back one morning with a vengence four days ago. I called my surgeon in tears, saying, "I just can't do this to myself again, thank you for all you've done trying to figure this out, I think I just need it out." I have an appointment tomorrow, but it scares me they claim they have "never heard of this". Has ANYONE heard of anything like this? It honestly just feels like I have a giant bubble of gas right above my belly button. This feeling began the second I woke up from surgery. Honestly, the only thing I can think of to do next is removal, and I'm heartbroken. Any ideas guys? Thank you for your kind ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
