Having some pain. Dont know what it is.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I got my band December 23, 2008. I started at 339 and I'm down to 242. I'm having some moderate pain around the port when I lay flat on my back, on my side, stomache. But when I sit up, the pain subsides or completely goes away. This is the first time I've had this, or at least the first time it prevents me from sleeping. I have a few suspicions, but I just don't know:

1. It might be my back brace that I wear to work. I work in a warehouse, lifting boxes all day. And I think maybe it's pressing the port.

2. Possibly something I ate, but I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary, or in large amounts.

3. I started going to the gym after work and did a bunch of sit ups. However, I had only gone a couple days (just started).

Any help? I don't know what this is, or if it's a major concern or just a passing thing. Thanks.

I would definitely check in with the doc as a percaution. Hope it works out for you. Good luck!

      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.
