Please Help...Serious Pain Not Sure Why



Recommended Posts

hello everyone, im hoping you can help me. ive been banded for almost 2 years and never had any issues. ive had 4 fills one in december '08 and this past march '09 pain started in my left side. i went to my doctor and they performed a endoscopy and found nothing wrong so they sent me on my way. so i thought it could be from working out since i go 5 times a week and started seeing a trainer. so months went by and i dealt with the pain finally in june i went to my physician who took tests and cat scans and found nothing and then sent me to a stomach dr who also found nothing. i cant live like this anymore i am walking hunched over and am always taking pain killers at this point, its just so uncomfortable. can it be that the band got to tight? can that be the result since nothing else is wrong? im going tomorrow to get an unfill because a nurse advised me to do that but i need to figure this out its costing so much money in dr bills at this point. also i have been tighter i cant really eat chicken or meat anymore and even struggle with Water in the morning. but i dont understand, can that really be the problem and the uncomfortable pain im feeling?

thanks!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
