Had surgery about six months ago. For the past three I've had off and on pain in my lower right abdomen. Sort of on my pelvic bone. Felt like a pulled muscle to me, so I wasn't too concerned. Went to my regular doctor yesterday as the pain has gotten pretty bad. She said she could feel a soft squishy mass. She was concerned with a hernia. Had a CT scan yesterday. Nothing. Just got done with an ultrasound. Don't have results back, but the techs didn't seem like they saw anything. Has anyone heard anything about this having to do with lap band or anything?

Not me. Most everyone who posts here has scars, incisions, ports and pains from the bellybutton up to the sternum and the left side of the body.

@@melanndoll have you ever had an issue with PCOS in the past?

Not band related I was having horrible pain in my lower abdomen and no one could figure out why. It turned out to be an Uterine issue for me. If you don't hear anything back from the Dr. give your OB/GYN a call and check in on that side of things.

I know being banded we always think about that first, and that's not a bad thing. Sometimes it turns out it's not related to the band though so don't give up till you find out why you have this pain.

Keep us up to date on how your feeling!!

      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.
