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.

      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.
