Not adhesions from the band, but I eventually had a hysterectomy two years ago because I had such bad adhesions. I'd had five laparotomy/laparoscopy procedures over six years for fertility issues and pain, and had serious adhesions, along with scar tissue. Hysterectomy is one of the best things I've done besides lap band.

Thank you for your reply. I have been having adhesion pain off and on since 12/2011. I had a lap band on 5/26/2009. My last three fills ended with a port site infection. I also had to have my port replaced.. I never know when I will get the adhesion or if something triggers them. Once I was in bed for 6 days..my question is...will these adhesion pain ever go away? My doctor doesn't. Say much. I just turff it out in bed.

I have been wondering if that is the awful pain I have been experiencing in my lower abdomen, since my hysterectomy a few years ago (well before I was banded). The pain is recurring but usually happens when I stretch the wrong way. it feels like someone is inside my gut twisting and turning a chunk of flesh...it is awful! The last one knocked me to my knees.

Is your pain constant?

No my pain is not constant. When I do get an attack it hurts to move and breath deep. .I usually end up in bed for a few day. My mom had them and she said they will pgo away. Keeping. My fingers crossed.

      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!
