Does anybody get an occasional vague pain which kind of feels like a shock?



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow bandsters. I have been having some strange sudden vague pains on my upper obdomen where the lapband is placed I suppose. It comes and goes and somtimes it comes when I make a sudden movement? Is that the lapband? Can anybody feel thier band? It kinds of freaks me out.

I don't get the shocky pain.. but there are times when I feel like I am more acutely aware of my band. Vague is a good word indeed. I shrug it off cause after all there is a foreign body in me:tongue_smilie:

This is where my pain is when it "shocks" me.

Mine is also about 6 inches below the port, but I haven't asked the doc about it. Figured it was gas or something. It's only occasional, but it's a shocking pain that definitely makes me take notice! Hmm...may be asking the doc about this next time. :frown:

I get something like that in my port area as well. It is like a twing or shock kind of felling at the port site. I thought it was just me. Surely its nothing major.

I had the same thing for a few months after surgery. Sharp shooting pains below my port. My doctor said it was most likely the muscle tissue healing from the cuts to the abdomen.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
