Having stomach pains, is it normal?



Recommended Posts

I have my port located under my breast in the middle, and the other stitches below it, now from time to time, i feel pain in my stomach or belly, its not a killer pain but i feel a bit of an itch or more of like my belly is full, i dont know how to explain it.

My fill is normal, i can eat but small portions, i have been banded for a year and 3 months now, and lost half my weight, but the thing is, is this normal???

should i be worried and go to the doc? i was there like a month ago and we don't do Xray or any sort when i get a fill, its all done by me sipping Water and telling him when the fill is alright.

He said everything was perfect and me slowly loosing the weight, also he said that i will be filled half a CC from now on as he filled me one CC and i was EXTREMELY full LOL!

Just to be on the safe side, should i be worried?

When in doubt- ask your doc! There should be no pain with the band- good, bad or indifferent. I would call and inquire today as it could save yourself heartbreak down the road. good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
