Abdominal pain



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I had my Realize Band placed October 8th 2010. My first fill was Dec 17 with 4 cc's placed..After the fill I was on a liquid diet for 3 days and began eating solid Proteins after that without any difficulty. I have only had 2 issues with slimming and subsequently spitting up some of my food. I began to feel really hungry during the month of February and I returned March 21 for a 2 cc fill. This fill made a significant difference and I have adjusted my food to 3-4oz of food usually closer to 3cc.

After my first fill I did have some righ side pain. My GP sent me for a Gallbladder ultrasound and HIDA scan both of which were normal. Before I had my fill in March I had some occasional "stitching" pain when I lift a heavier object or exercise. The port is not at all sore. I reported this to my surgeon and per my report of stsrting a Zumba class he examined me and I have no fever no difficulty swallowing or consuming my foods, we decide to take it easy for a period of time and report any worsening of symptoms.

Since my fill, I continue to have pain after eating in my right side. increased abdominal gas no heartburn The pain is now straight across my abdomen at waist level on both sides now. I do not have any difficulty eating or swallowing...My question is..Is this normal has anyone ever had this type of pain before. Could this be gas related pain? I continue to have no pian at the site of my port..no burping esophageal reflux...occasionally this pain goes through to my back but not always...HELP????...lol

      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.
