Band feels as if its sticking me



Recommended Posts

Does anybody ever feel as if their band is sticking them? Sometimes when I cough my band will hurt is this normal? I was banded 9/5/12. Also, sometimes it feel like it hurt or sticks me when I wear my jeans that most of the time are tighter on my stomach than my wrk pants. Sometimes it happen with my work pants also but only when maybe I've eaten a tad too much, I hardly ever overeat I've never had a Bp, thrown up or anything, by the grace of god I've had a great 4 mths of being banded.

I could be wrong but I believe what you are feeling is your port not your band. The band is on the stomach which is above the waist and would be impossible to feel through your liver I would think

Chck ith your dr just to be sure.

If you were newly banded, the port stays sore for 6-8 weeks, but I would think that would be done by now. Did you bump your port? If is is under your waistband it may need to be relocated. Call the doctor is my net advice.

Banded almost two years and still feel my port when pressure applied e.g. tighter fittign pants can put pressure on my port.

Thanks that is exactly when I feel it. When I wear my tight jeans. I wear them much more now since the weight is dropping. Lol

I kept feeling like somethinvg was sticking me and my Dr sent me for a ct scan. My tubing from the band to the port is kinked.

      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.
