Strange Pain



Recommended Posts

I get this this weird kind of pressure and tingling on my left side periodically through the day. It almost kind of feels like when your pregnant and the baby is pushing or kicking on one spot. It is kind of close to my port but lower and more on my side. It usually happens when i am sitting and if i lay back it stops. Could it be the tubing going were it shouldn't be. Has anyone else experienced this? It isn't really painful but it is getting really annoying. I am my dr 2nd band patient so i don't feel like he'll know what it is. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

I have experienced this as well and my surgeon told me it was most likely the formation of scar tissue and the tubing is irritating it. she was not concerned about it, so that was a relief! Hope this helps~!

I found I have a lot of 'strange pains' associated with the band. None of them are constant, they are set off by how I am sitting or laying, and if I shift around it goes away. My brain makes me think it's just the fact there is an OBJECT in my body, and when I squish it against my stomach, liver, etc.. it's going to hurt!

That's my excuse. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
