Wondering

[dbrengle 0]

I am 18 days post op and I was wondering if anyone has these issues, after I eat (regardless of what I eat) I belch numerous of times, and for some reason, when I go lay down at night to go to sleep, I cant lay on my left side. I have really bad sharp pains. I know my surgeon cut me there but only minor cuts and I cant figure out why I hurt so bad there.

Anyway I am down 19 pounds since 08/27/08, not sure how much I am now, but Ill take what I can get....lol

Have a great day.:shades_smile:

Hi,

I had my band put in on the 18th of August and I still have a problem laying on my sides... I get sharp pain on my right side like I had been running a long distance. I will be going back to the dr on the 24th of september and cant wait to see how much I have lost...

I understand I dont go back to my srugeon till 10/01/08 for my first fill, but if you talk to them about the pain in your sides, please let me know what they say. I am very curious to find out why I am hurting.

Also how did you put your August allstars on your signature??

Regarding the belching. Get used to it. It will be part of your new normal. As you eat and drink, you ingest a certain amount of air. How you process that air is now different than before. I'm sure there is a medical explanation but it is the reason some rules include not using a straw, not gulping your Water, and especially not drinking carbonated beverages (I hear that's painful).

God Bless!

hix i am now 5 weeks post -op. did u have an adjustable band fitted ? if so u'll probably find that ur left side hurts because the port where they will inject ur fills is usually stitched under ur fat to ur stomach muscle there :teeth_smile: it does get easier -i can now lie any way i want to x hope this helps :thumbup:claire

It was about 4 weeks before I could sleep on my side. As far as belching, I do that all the time now and very loudly.

As far as hiccups I havent noticed anything out of the normal. But I will pay more attention to them when I get them again.

Lots of belching the first 10 days for me, I was banded on Aug 14 and it seems Im back to normal as far as the belching goes.

After you get filled you may have hiccup problems. As for the pain, you just had surgery, people! Your insides were cut up and your abdominal muscles now have a foreign object stitched to them (your port.) It will take a few weeks of healing before all the pains go away, and you will still feel a pulling around your port from time to time if you twist and turn sharply. I don't have a belching problem, but my husband does. He also has the hiccups more than I do, usually from eating too fast or the wrong things. Welcome to bandland.

The thing is my port isnt on my left side its in the middle about 5 inches from my belly button. I thought that was a weird place for it to be, but thats where my surgeon put it. SO thats why I am totally confused on why my left side hurts.
