Almost the months out from surgery and really no issues at all.

Today i started having a kind of a weird pain at my port incision....but my port is about five inches south of my scar. I also burped for the first time since before surgery.

Now I'm worried that i might be slipped. Any suggestions or are these normal occurrences? Any input? Would a slip have any feel?

I have port pain from time to time for no reason. It just gets tender for a day or two. Doctor told me it was normal. As for it slipping, if you have been following the rules your chances of it being a slip is slim. If you haven't then it might put your mind at ease to schedule an appointment. But usually a slip will generate more serious symptoms like vomiting. But it never hurts to check in with the doc, that's what they are there for.

Good luck.

Its not really port pain. My incision is high on my stomach and my port is five inches away and sits in my waist.

I know that i eat too large of portions and I'm working on getting that under control. Just concerned about this twingy thing because its new. Nothing like this in three months since getting my band and I'm wondering if I've caused a slip or maybe stretched my stomach?

I don't know what this would feel like. Everything else I've read about slips people talk about acid Redux and poison and inability to eat.

I'm not in pain or vomiting or anything. I'll ask my surgeon next week.

      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.
