Weird pain and question about fill



Recommended Posts

ok i have 2 problems. i had surgery on june 10th and i feel great other than the fact that when i bend completely over, i have a stabbing pain that feels like its right behind my belly button. everyone has been saying its probably my port but my port is way higher right under my ribs..anyone know what it might be?

problem number 2 is that i had i believe 3cc's put in at surgery, and i feel NOTHING. the second week i was eating whatever i want and had no restriction at all. im scared i might never feel anything!

Your pain is probably the port, but I would check with your dr. to make sure.

Are you sure you got any fill? I know some drs do the first fill in surgery, so maybe for you, it just wasn't enough. I don't have a fill yet. I'm at 5 weeks. Get my fill at 8 weeks. But I am following the guidelines of 3-4 oz. of food at each "meal" and 80 grams protein/64 oz Water in between. It is getting me used to taking tiny bites, putting my fork down between bites, and chew chew chew! And even though I don't have a fill yet, I feel satisified, never hungry! So until your next fill, maybe pace yourself and see if that helps. Good luck!

      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! 😞
