New to the site. Introducing my self and also need help with a problem



Recommended Posts

Hi

Just saying hello as I am new to the site. Sorry for presenting you with my problem on my first time on site.

I have been happily banded for 3 1/2 years. I have lost my weight steadily and altogether I have lost seven stone. I am still losing slowly and steadily (except for this week when I have lost four pounds in one week. This is likely because recently I have started to get quite severe pain after I eat or drink. Initially about a month ago the pain emerged only after I had eaten . Now it is painful 5 to ten minutes after I eat or drink

The pain lasts about half an hour then goes away. The pain is alongside the left of my naval around my waist - under my rib and up the back of my rib cage - under my arm and around my boob! :thumbup: :party: All on my left side.

I would be grateful to know if anyone else has had these symptoms and how they dealt with them.

Best wishes

Delaina:smile2:

Wow, if it was on your right side I would say get your gall bladder checked out...you need to see a professional, as soon as possible. Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
