The pain is the area around my belly button in general... so mid abdomen.

I'm three months post and am still having abdominal pain/discomfort almost constantly. Its a feeling somewhere between "gut rot" and extreme gas. At first I was told it was stomach acid, but I've been on two different meds and I still feel awful. I saw my surgeon who claims it has nothing to do with the surgery. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

They will normally fall off in about 1 week. :0)

I didn't have one either.

I have had horrible problems with stomach acid... mine has not caused any reflux, but all stomach ache... to the point that it effects me working (hair-stylist)... I was also put on Nexium, and am still taking it... it has gotten better, but if i drink coffee i'm in pain for 2 days... awful!!!!!!!!! I really hope that you feel better soon!

Agreed. That does NOT sound normal. Please let us know how your feeling!

Mine did the same. :0) I had my sister cut off the ends.

Oops. Meds*. Lol. Gotta love auto-correct.

That stinks. But yes. I had exactly that. Try a heating pad for comfort. Do you have pain mess?

I would have said Ketosis. It doesn't matter the amount of calories per day, it's WHAT foods you are consuming. Do u have Keto-sticks to test your urine?

Vancouver/Victoria and was banded July 6th.

I was out of pocket as well, 12 days before my birthday. What a great gift we've given our selves. So exciting to step on that scale! Keep us updated!!!

Coffee hasn't agreed with me since surgery. Booooooo. Lol. I really miss it. I would say that if you are within your calorie range you'll be fine. However, I would make certain to try and get in some additional water throughout the day, just due to coffee being a diuretic, and leaving u a bit dehydrated. We all need to find balance between depravation and indulgence. :0) Hope this helps, just a little food for thought.

i'm not sure if that made sense, lol... i WOULD describe the pain as bad, unusual or very uncomfortable.
