I was banded on the 28th and i have been feeling less and less pain with each day that passes.... today i went back to work and idk if it was because i was sitting straight for a long time but i now have a pain... or discomfort on the right hand side of my abdomen below my rib cage (almost like when your spleen hurts).

Is this common? Should I be worried? :grouphug:

I had that on my left side, and it was close to an incision. Doctor said it was scar tissue, and sure enough after a few days of moving around it went away.

I had discomfort from sitting straight up at work the first couple days. Get up and walk around a bit. It'll help. Also, I made the biggest mistake of wearing jeans. Elastic is a good friend while your belly is healing.

Hi, I am 4 weeks + 1 day and my discomfort and pain on my left side while sitting finally stopped on this past weekend. I couldn't drive, couldn't sit at my desk for more than a few minutes without having to standup. Also would have to gave up my seat on public transit after 10 minutes because of the pain. Had to cancel work meetings because I knew there was no way I could sit for long. I was worried and knew it wasn't normal and was to make an appointment with surgeon to discuss. Thank goodness it's gone now and I feel so much better because of this. I even postponed my first fill by 2 weeks because of this, I thought there was no way I was adding any more stress to my body until this sorts it self.

Hope it passes for you too.

Mary

      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.
