Need Help Please I'm Scared



Recommended Posts

I have a pain in my left side. It feels like if I went out and ran two miles and my muscles craps. What are the symptoms of a slipped band. What should I be looking for. I am still losing weight and can still eat and drink and have no problems. I was banded 5/6/11 and have lost 56 lbs and I workout alot so I don't know if I pulled a muscle or what. I am afraid I have hurt my band and I really don't want that. Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you all so much if you can help.

Not sure whats going on but if i can help at all i would just say that even if it is just a pulled muscle i would call your doctor and have it checked out just incase. It never hurts to be safe. Sorry i couldnt help more.

If the pain is in your side i would think it is unlikely to be a slipped band, the pain from that would be felt higher up. It could be a pulled muscle, it could be a stitch from your port or................ As Kara say's the best way to get peace of mid is to talk to your Dr.

I had this same problem about a week ago, only to find out it was GAS! It is very scary to have this pain and not understand why. See if you are eating anything that may give you gas. I am glad to say it passed in a day or so. I do hope that is only gas for you as well.

Good luck

Please go see your doctor if you take a Gas X and nothing happens.Are you constipated at all? Sometimes thesmaller amount of Water we take in post op causes this.Also could it be gallstones from rapid weight loss perhaps?Anyway call the doctor if the gas meds don't work.

I was banded a little over 1 month ago and I've been having the same pain. It first started in my lower right side. I thought it was my appendix the pain was so sudden and severe. My doctor said I may have tweeked a muscle while walking. Now, 2 days later, the pain traveled over to my left side. I've noticed that I'm a little more gassy than usual, but I can't imagine this much pain from just having gas.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
