HELP!!! Anyone else had this??



Recommended Posts

I have been having pain in my stomach right between my breast, but lower since Monday. I talked to the Dr. office, and they said it sounded like gas. I took GasX and it did seem to help. Over the week it has gotten much worse and now anytime I take a sip of even Water it hurts. I called Dr. and they think it may be a stricture! Has anyone else had this????

I go in Monday for an upper GI and then they will know for sure.

I'm 3 weeks today and haven't even started mushies yet! I'm really scared!!! :drool:

It totally sounds like the gas pain I had the first week and a half. I will be praying for you. Please keep me posted. Hugs :(

It could be also an esophageal spasm. On the upside, if you have a stricture, they should be able to fix it without having to cut you open again - just go through your mouth.

Sorry that is foreign to me... what is a stricture?

I had a pain under my right breast and it turned out to be a pulled muscle (who knew?) from when I drove the first time (and who knew you would use stomach muscles driving?) -- it went away after a week or so -- but it scared me at first. My dr. said it was a pulled muscle, but if it lasted longer than 3 days to call. And it didn't . . .

I hope you feel better and it's not anything to worry about!

      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.
