Stomach pain-band issue or overly active?

August 27, 2008

Beware---some of this post could be considered TMI!

Okay... so yesterday I noticed my stomach aching in the area where I'm sure the band is. Aching with a sharp pain every now and again. Last night it hurt as I was going to sleep, but woke up this morning and it felt better at first but as the day progressed it started to ache again.

I was banded in January and had very little restriction until my 4th fill which was last month. I can still eat pretty much anything as long as I am careful with things like bread.< /p>

So I'm going back in my memory trying to figure out if I should be concerned about this or if it is just muscle ache from being more active then usual.

So Sunday... I had a pretty good size Breakfast, which I felt full after eating, but not painfully full and no issue's with backing up.

(So here's the tmi) About 2-3 hours after breakfast my husband and I had sex and I was on top for the first time in years :w00t:. Then Sunday night we had pretty vigorous sex again :cool2::embaressed_smile:.

Then yesterday early evening we took our son to the park and I decided that I'd race my pre-schooler. It was my first attempt at running in-well-possibly ever.

So now my left side is really achy. My stomach around my band, my lower back and my thigh are all achy today.

It does not hurt to swallow/eat, but it hurts my stomach and into my left lower back to take a deep breath. I am not having any issues with reflux, pb or vomiting.

I was thinking I'd try to stick to mostly liquids for the next day or so (which is nearly impossible for me to do), and then if I am still hurting by Thursday morning I will call my doctor and see what they have to say.

So should I be worried?

Ok...so your situation sounds alot like mine..and I actually had the pain for about 2 weeks before I called the doctor..I called last friday and I was pretty much restricted to bed rest until the pain went away, and the doctor told me to put ice on my stomach until it felt better..He said that my stomach muscle was inflammed, and it was making my nerves go crazy which was causing the pain, and he said that if I didnt get the inflamation down that it could possibly turn into an infection..So I stayed in bed from friday night basically til monday. I went back to work today, and I haven't had any problems, and my pain hasn't came back..So maybe if you tried that it would work for you.
