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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
