Mild Soreness right side of abdomen



Recommended Posts

I was banded on March 1, 2011 and could not be happier. Since being banded I have had nothing but success. I have lost 92lbs and have a whole new outlook on food, diet, and happiness in life.

For the past 3 days on and off I have noticed a very mild pain on the right side of my abdomen about 3 inches south of my rib cage. I have not noticed any particular activity or function that causes the pain. The pain is very mild and does not make me uncomfortable in any way. It feels almost like a sore abdomen muscle however I havent done anything that would cause this. I am a little concerned and plan to contact my doctor however I was curious if anyone else has experienced anything like this and had any insight as to what it could be.

You lost 92 lbs since March 1??? Wow! Tell us how you did it! I've heard that sometimes gas bubbles from surgery can still cause some people pain even a couple months after surgery. It could possibly just still be floating around. Definitely call your doctor just to make sure that it's nothing serious. Good job again!

Thanks More2Love! It has been a lot of hard work, mental toughness, and support from family & friends. I have made significant changes to my diet. Before my surgery I used to eat fast food, fried food, and generally unhealthy foods. I no longer eat any of that stuff. I plan out my meals for the entire week every Sunday. I spend almost the entire day cooking and portioning out meals to bring to work to ensure I eat healthy.

I exercise regularly. I go for walks when the weather cooperates. I started off walking around the block once and now can go 2 miles per walk. Since doing this I have so much more energy, motivation, and drive to be more active.

I go to all support group sessions the docto office provides. I even go to some educational classes the doctor office provides to learn more about eating habits, influences, self esteem, etc. I see my surgeon and primary doctor regularly to keep myself accountable.

My family and friends have been supportive through this although it took them several months to finally stop harassing me to eat more.

Wow-92lbs in less than 3 months! I am only three weeks out and following all the rules, too. Hopefully I have that much success. Amazing!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
