Has anyone had any side stitch pain?



Recommended Posts

Just had my AGB surgery on May 1st. Not too many complications. I've lost 24 lbs. Two Questions: I'v had some side stitch pain, the kind you get if you run for a long time, has anyone else had this problem? Second Question: Just started my BirthControl pill again, has anyone had any complications from taking it?

I had a pain like that a few weeks after surgery also... and it kind of freaked me out. My Dr. told me not to worry about it and it would go away, and it did after about a week. BUT, of course, this is only my experience and if you're very concerned and it persists too long, ask your Dr also.

and no, nothing weird after starting back on the pill

I had the same sort of pain for a while after surgery. I think it was gone in a month or so. That's just part of the healing process, and probably is the muscle tissue hurting where they went through to get to your stomach. I rarely have pain anymore, but still have a lump of scar tissue in the muscle, which I thought was a hernia at first. You'll likely have a few pangs now and then, especially at night when you try to roll over or sit up without thinking about it. But, it will be gone before you know it.

yes, I had that, and I also had quite a sore/strained mid back. Both these things are symptoms I had after each of my children were born too (both natural and caesar deliveries), I think its possible, for me anyway, that it has to do with the fact that you carry yourself a bit differently after an abdominal trauma and your core muscles take a bit of a beating, which leads to fatigue in other muscles.

I just got that pain for the first time tonight. Under my ribs on my left side. It caught me off guard.

      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?

      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.
