Does anybody get an occasional vague pain which kind of feels like a shock?



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow bandsters. I have been having some strange sudden vague pains on my upper obdomen where the lapband is placed I suppose. It comes and goes and somtimes it comes when I make a sudden movement? Is that the lapband? Can anybody feel thier band? It kinds of freaks me out.

I don't get the shocky pain.. but there are times when I feel like I am more acutely aware of my band. Vague is a good word indeed. I shrug it off cause after all there is a foreign body in me:tongue_smilie:

This is where my pain is when it "shocks" me.

Mine is also about 6 inches below the port, but I haven't asked the doc about it. Figured it was gas or something. It's only occasional, but it's a shocking pain that definitely makes me take notice! Hmm...may be asking the doc about this next time. :frown:

I get something like that in my port area as well. It is like a twing or shock kind of felling at the port site. I thought it was just me. Surely its nothing major.

I had the same thing for a few months after surgery. Sharp shooting pains below my port. My doctor said it was most likely the muscle tissue healing from the cuts to the abdomen.

      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.
