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.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
