Help...Having a little discomfort to band area



Recommended Posts

I hope someone can help me.....I had my band done 12/28/09 and never really have had any problems. I have now been having a little discomfort in the area where my band is at. my port area ia fine with no problems, I am able eat with no problems. I am not sure if my it's my band that just maybe just changing still. I had a fill done about a month or go and I notice I had some discomfort then as well. So I wonder if it's the same thing or something different. please help me I am just worried something has gone wrong with my band...thanks for your help

Please help me understand what exactly you are feeling, and when? Have you discussed what you are feeling with your doctor?

I called my Dr.office and I have an appointment Monday afternoon. I would have gone tomorrow but my mom is having surgery tomorrow morning. The nurse said maybe I have ate something that did not agree with me or swollen tissue she ask me where the discomfort is at and it kinda to my left rib area. She told me the band is higher up and chest area. so maybe this discomfort has nothing to do with my band...but I sure hope to goes away soon maybe it's just stress with my mom having surgery in the morning...I was doing great until this little discomfort came along. I will keep everyone posted

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
