Im coming up 2 yrs. post op and last few months i have been getting really bloated tummy with tenderness around the port area, as thats whats causing the bloatedness it will last around 3 to 4 days, also my tummy makes a really loud grumbly noise. My stomach hurts with every step i take. My Doctor says he has not heard of this and doesn't not seem overly concerned. Has any one else had this problem?

I hate to hear that you're going through this, but slightly relieved to hear someone understands...I'm six years post band, started to become underweight...upper scope by GI showed band slip and HHernia...waited a few months and decided to have conversation about band removal...first time seeing surgeon in 3 years...he was able to remove fluid from band 9/12...9/17 had extremely swollen legs, 9/19 scale showed 30lb weight gain. Started Lasix and some fluid has come off but now I have a distended abdomen...constipated, meds only way to get relief...surgeon does another scope, says all is fine and I must be eating too much...that was 10/14 where I had then weighed an additional 10lbs

So within 30 days I've gained 40lbs, can't have a normal BM, or wear anything that's not elastic waisted...I don't know if I could've gained that much trying...look pregnant and feel so uncomfortable...waiting on insur to approve CT ..just hoping the mystery can be solved SOON!
