strange pain once a month



Recommended Posts

so for the 2nd time, about 5 days b4 my period, i get what feels like heartburn or stabbing pain right between my chest. it hrts when i breath and i feel pressure and it hurts.

I went running to my surgeon yesterday cuz i was scared.

Fluids go down just fine, and and i only eat 1 meald a day and thats the night b4.

Soooooo my surgeon said right off the bat its NOT my band, since things can pass through thats a def sign it not the band. he gave me a xray and i swalloed stuff and saw everything was fine, he actully said i could use a fill, im at 7cc and im wide open ( great)

BUT what i can figure out is this. I had bought new bras at Lany Braynt, since then that is when it started. Now us ladies know Layne Bryant does not sell bras, they sell BOULDER HOLDERS LOL , but they have a wiwde band across the middle, AND when i take my bra off, about 20 mins later I am FINE????? i am assume that from my pms my boobsswell, well i know they do, but maybe the swelling of the boobs mixedwith a tighter big banded bra over my band????

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS??? so far it seems i have the 1% of things that never happen to people happen to me lol

ANYBODY ELSE????? Id love to hear feedback PLEASE :huh:

Frist off, you need to eat more than once a day. Your body needs the Protein in order to loose good. I have swelling every month with pms. My band also gets tighter during this time put I know after a few days it will loosen back up. I would try a different bra, maybe without under-wire during this time and see if it helps.

It maybe the wire in the bra. I can't wear underwire bras. The wire sits right on top of where my port is. I kept getting strange pains when I wore my bra, when I took it off it was fine. I mentioned it to the Dr. and he said it's your bra. So I don't wear underwire bras anymore. Which is very hard to find.

Lane Bryant is not the best place to buy a bra. Go to Leggs and get measured and you can buy a good bra that fits for the same price. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
