Uncomfortable after surgery



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 3/4. Pain is pretty much gone, but I have this weird feeling like something is jabbing me under the rib when I sit down. The only way to get comfortable is to lie down. Was wondering if anybody else has experienced this or anything similar? :tongue:

I got my band on 2/26 and I feel the EXACT same way. Everyone keeps telling me it's normal and will pass. It has gotten better - but I still feel it!!

See your doctor Monday, and if it gets bigger before then, go the emergency room (be sure to tell them you had a lap band put in)

Mine is much better today. Seemed to get much better after I got out and got some movement today. The swollen spot is probably your port. You probably should consult your surgeon.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
