1 Week And Still Have Pain



Recommended Posts

It's been a week and a day since I was completely unfilled. That part has been wonderful. Things are finally calming down and I am happy with my level of restriction with no fill. However, the pain never went away after the abnormally bad pain following being unfilled (it was two days after I had a partial unfill). In fact, as of yesterday evening, I think it is getting worse. I started having some sharp pains but thought it was because I was laughing maybe? But it is just hurting for no reason today, and my incision has also been a bit sore. I'm wondering if anyone has had this happen before? Is it normal to have pain at the port this long after an adjustment?

If I'm still having the pains on Monday I'll call my doctor's office. If it gets any worse, and if I start having other symptoms over the weekend, i'll call the weekend help line.

I was unfilled last Tuesday. My PA told me that sometimes after a complete unfill, the band can slip. She said if I had ANY abdominal pain I needed to call them...so call your doctor or if the pain is really intolerable go to the ER.

      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.
