I feel like I'm using this forum a lot lately! I appreciate all of the feed back!

I went in March 10 for a check up and had .5 cc removed from my band. I had the Fluid removed voluntarily because I was sick and having a hard time staying hydrated. My doctor's office conducted a barium swallow test and found that my band and everything else was in good shape. My nurse has no issues finding my port and removing the Fluid. She did use a different kind of needle this time. However, since the small unfill, I have had a dull, achy pain in my stomach area. I don't have any problems eating, no nausea, or any other issues, just the pain. So my question is, is is common to have some pain after and unfill? My doctors office is closed until Monday.

Thanks for any responses.

I don't have the scientific reasoning behind it but I too don't feel so hot after a fill. there is a small and I mean small amount of discomfort at the port site. I also get a lower back ache. I think it's because I have to lay flat and raise my head for the port to be in the right position. this discomfort is usually gone the next day. if your's isn't even if your doctor's office is closed they have someone on call to answer your question. just call your doctors telephone number. hope you feel better quickly

      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.
