htaylor1021 0 Posted August 20, 2008 I am one week post op and still on the full liquid diet. I was having some lobster bisque that had been "strained" of lobster. I was having no problems until I took one swallow that had a piece of lobster in it. I felt it right as I was swallowing. Everything seemed OK though until 2-3 hours later and now I have an uncomfortable feeling in my diaphram area. It doesn't really hurt it just feels like pressure. liquids can go down ok. So now I have some questions...first can this hurt me or my band? Is there anything I should do? Is this going to rip the sutures around my band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted August 21, 2008 Heather, as with anything medical, you should get in the habit of calling your doc's office with anything you think might be a problem. Better safe than sorry, especially this early in the healing process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
htaylor1021 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Thank you, both of you. I did call the Doctors office around 3 yesterday. The NP didn't seem worried. She told me to drink some warm fluids and that the feeling should pass. She also suggested that it may be gas although it really didn't feel like gas to me. I am feeling much better now.
