Ouch!!! Pain!!! What the ....



Recommended Posts

Okay i was banded 8/22/11. Things have progress well as far as i can tell. But after yesterday, after i moved a full sized bed to clean behind it and do light house keeping preparing for company, i have felt a sometimes sharp pain. At other times its a burning pain. Albeit brief it hurts almost like it did the first two day out of surgery. Is this just HEALing pain? Or do ya'll think i mucked up my band. Please be advised I had a had a lap band placed with the added feature call a "Spider" technique. This is a process where there are extra stitching of the band to the stomach of some sort.

Any advise or comments would be welcomed. I am making sure to stay down w/ little activity to see if things get better. It's so sore at times. Ouch !!!And I hate that liquid hydrocodone ick!!!!!!

I am almost 4 weeks out. I think you are going to be just fine. I hurt mine really back about 2.5/ with crazy sex (sorry about TMI). I called the nurse the next day, becasue I was so sore and in pain. She said not to worry, that port is sewn in so well with mesh it wont flip and you didnt do anything. Thank GOd i was really worried. So i told hubby no more until 3 weeks, dr. said 2 weeks. Anyway.. dont worry, i was so sure I did something terrible to it.. relax and heal! sure enough by the next 2 days it was no pain and back healing right.. :)

      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.
