Possible slip?



Recommended Posts

I have been having pain in the left side of my abdomen (the opposite side of my port) that feels like a pulled muscle but 10 times more painful. It hurts when I stand, walk, bend, sit and breathe. I have noticed it hurts more on days I work bc I am moving around more. I also have been feeling nauseous. For the last 2 weeks. I can eat fine and haven't had any heartburn. I plan on calling my surgeon first thing on Monday but I was just wondering if anyone on here has experienced similar pain?

i am sorry, i can't offer advice you haven't filled out your profile yet . llike when was surgery? usually the most common complaint when a band has slipped is reflux. any pain associated with a slipped band comes from spasms in your esophagus when the food starts to back up. if you just had surgery it could be gas from surgery. a heating pad will help. but the best thing you are doing is calling your doctor. he will answer all your questions and order whatever tests need to be order. until than take some Tylenol and use the heating pad.

If it gets real bad, you should visit an ER?

You could have so many different dangerous medical problems. Kidney stones, appendicitis just to name two.

      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.
