Hello Everyone,

I was banded on 3/24 and have been having really sharp pains in my lower left abdomen. It seems to get worse the more that I move around. I am able to eat fine and haven't had any vomitting. I am having a CT scan done tomorrow to check and see what is going on. My doctor didn't really say what he thought it was.

Has anyone had this type of pain before?

I was banded the day after you on 3/25. I too have pains in my left side and I was worried that it was my port....since the long incision is on the left side just below the pain. I was worried that it was my port and that it had come lose or was rubbing against something.

I had a fill yesterday and the doctor had me point to where exactly it hurt. He checked his chart and said that is where he found and fixed a hernia during the surgery. It was not my port...he checked under floro during the fill. He said that the hernia repair will be sore when I stretch the muscles. He didn't give me a time frame for when it will no longer bother me.

I really hope that your pain is something simple like mine. Good luck tomorrow and let us know what it ends up being.

      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.
