pain in upper left side abdomen



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody, I have am 26 weeks pregnant and have 5mls in my band. Have not noticed too much restriction in my eating but sometines after eating I get a aching pain on my left side. I wonder if this is where the band is now sitting as my uterus pushes up. in concerned that my band is getring damaged or worse my stomach. Ive nearly gained 10 kilos during this pregnancy and im really anxious about the gain but im even more anxious that my changing body may be damaging my band...

22 lbs is quite a bit to gain at 26 weeks. I think that you are gaining too quickly, and you should see your lpbnd dr and your obgyn for advice. best wishes, Karen

Are you vomiting or feeling "stuck" a lot? If so it might be your band becoming tighter. To be honest, I would worry more about a possible slip rather then weight gain right now. You got it off once you can do it again :) I would give your surgeon a call and have some Fluid removed. Good luck!
