pain in right side :( could it be my band?



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since Feb 11th and have been loving it so far. I am down around 28 pounds and feeling really good.

This morning I woke up and have this pain on my right side centered just below my ribs. I have been on pureed foods and have been doing pretty well. I just can't figure out what this is. Ouch! Yes it hurts when I press on it.(I know don't press on it.) It almost feels like it goes to my back.

I'm not sure if it's my band or a muscle, I did start exercising the other day but nothing that would cause this pain. I took Iburprophen this morning and it hasn't made a change.

Any suggestions??

It sounds like the way my gallbladder felt before I had it removed. I compared it to feeling like a lower rib was sticking in to my lung.

Best thing to do is call your Dr and get it checked out.It may be a pulled muscle or it could be something to do with your port. You have only recently had the surgery so you need to be very careful what exercise you do at this stage. Things like walking are fine but strenuous stomach exercises could cause problems with the port. It is usually recommended that you allow a certain time after surgery to allow everything to heal before doing this kind of exercise.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
