Does anyone have pain-not cramping or abdominal pain but pain and tenderness when I move or bend over a certain way. Called the doc and the nurse said it wasn't a stretched pouch - no other stomach-typeproblems such as reflux. Pain started right be fore my first fill and then got worse - around the largest scar - is that the port??

Feels like a pulling, stabbing pain when I move wrong.

Anyone else have anything similar????:)

I believe that you are about 6-7 weeks out? At that stage, I still had slight pain when I moved a certain way. If it is severe or troublesome I would talk to my doctor.

I get it once in a while too when I bend that certain way. Mine's my port area and the sutures being pulled and stretched on. Sometimes I even feel a pinch when it rubs against my muscle wall. I also have to remember, since I'm losing weight and exercising, my muscle is also tightening up so i get the "rebound" effect.

Thanks to all for the reassurance - I still can eat too much but I am hopping that I will feel more restriction and less cravings as they tell you after the next fill or too.

It does feel as though it is a pulling, pain around the port area so is probably of no real consequence, although it is pretty painful at times.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
