Has anyone experienced a "cramp"?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on May 1st. Over the last few days, I have been experiencing a cramping feeling on my left side. I know that it isn't my port or my lap band. It is a cramp that is on the upper right front side of my abdomen.

I will see the doctor tomorrow for a fill, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of cramping.....:unsure:

Yes, they are getting better but I still have occasional cramps - sometimes on the right, sometimes on the back and sometimes in the middle. I've seen several people on here referring to cramps in various places in the abdomen. I would ask the doctor but wouldn't be too worried about it.

Interesting, thanks for sharing this. I'd never read about these cramps before. So far I haven't experienced them, but it's so helpful to know if I do that I don't have to panic--which I do easily!

I was banded in September of 2007. I find I get the cramping when I am full. It could be a sign that you have eaten enough. I know that is when I cramp. Good luck on your journey! :)

I just got back from the doc and had my first "fill". I asked him about the pain that I am having and he said that it is a muscle that is still healing.

The fill went very smoothly. I didn't even feel a prick when the needle was put in. He put in 1.5cc's. My band is 5cc's. I am only supposed to have clear liquid today and then very soft food for 2 days.......

      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...

        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.
