For the last couple of days, I have been having similar pains to the ones you describe. Also very gurgley/gassy.

I would write it off to a regular stomach ailment and let it run its course, except I had a fill about a week ago, and am now wondering if I am too tight. I've been too tight before, and had an unfill. This does not feel like that. No heartburn/coughing to speak of.

Just general stomach ache. Sometimes, the pain radiates up into the center of my chest.

I'm a man, so it is obviously not pregnency related :)

Anyone have any similar pains. I'm hoping my band is not slipped....although, while uncomfortable. I am able to keep food down.

I guess I am going to wait a few more days to see if the pain subsides and then go to my DR. if I still have problems.

Any thoughts?

thanks

I has this problem before I got my band. It was very hard to pin point where the pain was or even describe it. I would feel like I had to go to the bathroom but could not and the pain would move from my front to my back and was anywhere between my chest to my lower stomach. It was consistent with gall bladder or kidney stones but it was not either. The dr. finally tested me for a virus in the intestines called H. Pylori. They put me on antibiotics and I did not have the pain anymore. (I had dealt with the pain for almost a year) might be just one more thing to possibly consider.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
