Weird pain



Recommended Posts

Hello all.... I was banded nov 2012 I've recently been experiencing some weird pains. Had pain in my shoulder last week I thought it was the coming if The Lord that's how bad it was. Just out the blue and it lasted for a week. Now the pain has shifted to my middle back! Could this be the gas I've heard ppl talk about on here? I'm burping and farting( excuse me ) but the pain won't go away. I thought those gas pockets were for early banders I'm 11 months in..... Omg this pain please any info will be greatly appreciated

Hello: You need to call your doctor and be seen. He'll probably do a barium swallow and/or a EGD to see what's going on. Don't delay seeing the doctor. It's important to take care of yourself. Please let us know how you're doing later. Sorry about the format as it won't let me create new paragraphs or lines. Sue

years ago, i had symptoms like this and it ended up being my gall bladder/stones..

they removed it...i agree with the above poster, a call to the doctor is def in order

(esp when pain is involved).

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
