Having some pain. Dont know what it is.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I got my band December 23, 2008. I started at 339 and I'm down to 242. I'm having some moderate pain around the port when I lay flat on my back, on my side, stomache. But when I sit up, the pain subsides or completely goes away. This is the first time I've had this, or at least the first time it prevents me from sleeping. I have a few suspicions, but I just don't know:

1. It might be my back brace that I wear to work. I work in a warehouse, lifting boxes all day. And I think maybe it's pressing the port.

2. Possibly something I ate, but I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary, or in large amounts.

3. I started going to the gym after work and did a bunch of sit ups. However, I had only gone a couple days (just started).

Any help? I don't know what this is, or if it's a major concern or just a passing thing. Thanks.

I would definitely check in with the doc as a percaution. Hope it works out for you. Good luck!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
