What Is On The Left?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on mar 13 and have been doing well except for this annoying what feels like gas trapped but not sure on my left side under my breast. Anyone have the problem? When I eat it seem to get worse

Make sure you are up and walking around the house. I have read about that left side pain on here so others who have already been there will probably comment and give you more advice. Good luck on your journey!! I am headed that way!!

Your stomach is on the left. It may be something as simple as taking one bite too many. You may also find that things shift a bit after you drop a few more pounds and the feeling will go away.

I have actually been moving around a lot I went back to work after 6 days so that keeps me busy. I have been trying gas-x and that really hasn't helped me much. Also I still cannot eat much I have one egg for Breakfast, lunch yogurt 3oz, and dinner I have some tuna 2.3oz and all meals take me 40-50 min to eat so my bites are very small. I think I should be eating a little more but I just can't right now I get full so fast. Any one else going through this?

I have the same thing too. I cant eat much at all. I cant tolerate all the things that other people on here seem to eat with ease, eggs, tuna etc.... It just gets stuck and im forever burping it down (or up).

Like someone above said it may just be one bite too many, although your not eating much you may have got something lodged and thats causing the pain and then whatever your putting on top of that is getting lodged too. Try warm liquids for a couple of days again and it should clear. I tend to do that now just out of habit as it helps everything shift. Hope it eases for you.

That's a really good idea I think I'm gonna try that cause this really didn't start till I started my mushies and some meats. Thanks let me know how it works for you as well. When did you have your sugery? And do you still have some pain when you bend down to pick something up?

        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
