Strange "sensation"



Recommended Posts

I have been feeling this strange kind of sensation on ocassion when I turn a certain way. It almost feels like I can feel the band itself. I know it's not the port, it's not in the same spot, which is near my belly button. This is up closer to my ribcage, near one of the incision spots. And it's not a painful feeling. Just like I know something is there. :cry

Has anyone else ever had something like this? I don't think anything is wrong. Just curious I guess.

Thanks for any input.:)

are you sure it's not your port? or maybe the tubing from the port to the band? I know that my port is on my left side right close to my rib cage. I feel mine on occasion. No pain - just a weird feeling.

I think your both right. The tubing or something. I know it's not the port, the dr specifically showed me where it is, right on top of my belly button. I just didn't expect to feel anything else. Well at least I now know I'm not the only one. :)

Thanks for the replies! I really must say that I love this site!:banana Wether just reading through the postings, or by getting replies to something I posted, I feel the support of everyone!

Thanks !!!!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
