I was wondering if anyone else had this pain.........on the right hand side, more painful standing, tender sitting but no pain lying down? I had my appendix out 2yrs ago and it is very similar & close to the same spot not quite so low. I saw my GP yesterday and he said I should call the surgeon. I am out 6 weeks and have felt great so far. Thanks so much for any help.

Is it the same kind of pain you would get if you ran to much.. if so that's what I get, not as much anymore but very frequently in the first few months of surgery. I had my surgery in Aug 2003.

It feels like someone is inside my belly and pulling on a rope on my right side. I think I get this if I have not eaten. 2 weeks ago I had it in Atlantic City and I went and ate and I was fine after that. I would advise you call your doctor though.

When your doctor tells you to call your surgeon...you want OUR advice? :mad: Okay, I apologize for the sarcasm, but I'm trying to make an important point. Your doctor SAW you and just told you to contact the surgeon. No one here can give you a more informed answer. Pick up the phone! Dial! :ninja

Well I continue to have the left side pain, its like a sideache from running to much. I did call my Dr. and he said it was normal...do any of you experience this? I'm 3 months post op..when does this go away or does it ever go away? Normalyy with me I notice it once a week but the past 4 days it is constant. Not unbearable but noticeable. Have any of you had your port flip? if so what does it feel like? I know I'm paranoid but if any of you have ever expereinced this please POST about it. I know my doctor tells me it's normal but I do'nt feel normal ;)

Thanks

Hi, I don't want to alarm you, but please see your doctor...

Also you may want to have an x-ray.. I had severe pain on my side and it continued .. I had an x-ray done and my tubing had snapped off the port and was jabbing my insides.. Please get an x-ray and see a doctor.. It may be nothing, but thats what mine was.. Good luck and hope it's nothing..

      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.
