Help please - confused about pain



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Ive had this ache in my stomach for about a week. It sometimes feels like bad stitch but also feels like an ache/tightneSs around my port. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and had x rays, which showed nothing obviously abnormal. Also was checked for hernias etc. I have no symptoms other than this aching. Has anyone had anythin like this before??? I'd really appreciate any advice, I'm really worried. Thanks!

I too am struggling w/a gnawing in left abdomen. No nausea but feel bloated. Appt w/surgeon last week & he did a regular x ray. The band was in the right position. He said i was too tight so he removed some. He doesn't tell anyone how much. I did feel better in a few days but now hurting again & i can feel the band more than ever. Will make another appt. BTW I was banded in 2007. Lost 70 lbs & have gained 20. He wasn't happy w/me either. Now I am worried. Hoping I get in soon. Hope your problem will resolve itself. Keep me posted on what happens w/you.

Well... it may not be much help to you, but my port area is always sore, and quite often feels bruised and achy. The PA at my WL practice thinks it's because my port is so close to my rib cage that I'm constantly bumping and irritating it. Sometimes I'll bend the wrong way and pull it and holy moly, that is BAD pain. It'll get worse for a couple of days, then go back to that almost constant ache.

      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.
