I had my fourth fill on wed and did fine until Thursday night. Thursday night I started having a dull consistent pain in my stomach. This pain has been constant since then. My question is does this mean I'm to tight? In eating great I'm full on a little amount and stay full. The dull constant pain is the only thing bothering me. I'm also worried about the possibility of slippage, could the pain be from slippage?

Could you be more specific about the location of the pain?

We often say stomach when it's actually our intestines. And the band is located at the top of our stomachs which is felt more in the chest area.

Yes, need more specifics. Could you be constipated?

It is in the upper part. Upper left pretty close to my chest area.

Is your port on that side? I know mine will feel tender and not just at the injection spot.

No my port is near my belly button. I have never felt this discomfort with my other fills so wasn't sure what it might be. If it doesn't get better by Monday I will call and speak with the doc!

Hmm... Haven't read of anyone experiencing pain in that area except maybe right after surgery when basically everything hurts.

Hopefully your doctor will be able to figure it out and that it's nothing serious.

My port is higher than yours and I still feel a little tenderness in the area you describe but I know it's the port.

I doubt that you have a slip. Usually that causes severe pain, nausea and vomiting. I had a slip and I definately knew it. I felt aweful. Definately see your doctor. They will help you figure it out. It may be that you are a smidge too tight. In between time, monitor the pain and if it gets worse or changes in some way before you see the doctor, you should seek medical treatment. Good Luck!

      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.
