pain - is it band or baby?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out whats going on with me. I am a little over 15 weeks now and for the past couple of days I have been having the twinge/pain under my breast bone towards my right rib. At first I thought it was the weight of my dd breast (that are now getting larger) but it happens with or without a bra, when I lay on my side, or standing. Could something be wrong with my band or could it be all my organs are shifting to make room for my growing uterus? On a pain scale its about a 2 or 3, but enough to get my attention. Has anyone else had this? As far as eating, things go down well, I have 1.2cc in a 10cc band. So I dont think I need an unfill. Just racking my brain on what this could be, any comments would be so helpful. thanks:blushing:

I'm a prenatal massage specialist. It might be from the rearranging of your organs creating tension in the muscles surrounding your ribs. You can get a prenatal massage and ask them to do a deep release under your ribcage. Make sure to go to someone that has advanced training in prenatal massage otherwise they may not know what you're asking.

      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.
