Someone please help because I don't know what to do. I had

my band done on may 24. Everything went great. Better than

expected. Then on Friday I started getting a pain in my stomach.

Nothing alarming at first just kind of annoying. The only way I

can describe it is it feels like I am really realy hungry and my

stomach needs to growl but it won't. It was not bad at first because

I knew I was not. Long story short I got really sick on Saturday and

Sunday. Called my doctor. We had me come in one today. He let 3 cc

out of my band. Had one clue that I had anything in my band. So

now he says it completely empty. So now the pain is worse. I have

tried everything..... I have tried not eating.... Eating.... Mints. Eating

or drinking seems to relieve it for about 30 minutes and then it

comes back full force. Anybody else felt this? Does it ever stop?

What do I do?

I would call your doctor tomorrow and tell him that you are still in pain, there might very well be something wrong that he can't see unless he does an x-ray. I myself had surgery on May 6th and have felt no pain like this at all, so just take your pain meds, sleep on it, and call in the morning. Keep us posted.

I am sorry you are having such a hard time with it. The only other thing I could suggest it might be is gas pain, but from the way you described it, I'm not exactly sure.

      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.
