Rubbing? HELP! Just banded :(



Recommended Posts

I was banded 5 days ago and it feels like either my band or the port is rubbing. When I sit down, it feels like there is friction against.. lord knows what-- my ribs or diaphragm? It feels like something shifts inside of me. Then when in the seated position, its uncomfortable.

Has anyone else had this issue!

I am so nervous!

I am having the same problem! I am 7 days since surgery...I 'feel' it inside me all the time. Even when it's not hurting (which is very rare). It typically has a constant dull ache that often deepens to a sharp pain with getting up and down, walking, or simple repositioning. It feel 'tight' and 'rubbing' in my abdomen and when I breathe it feels like it's almost slightly shifting around..I have to sit VERY straight to get comfortable.

On top of this I have to go back to work tomorrow,,,a bit concerned about this.

Well,,,good luck, let's hope this is just because we are newly banded...

I felt an odd sensation as well and it does go away. I think right now it's due to the swelling and possibly still the gases. I'm 6 weeks post op tomorrow and don't feel any of that anymore. Give it another few days to a week and I'm sure you'll start feeling better.

      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! 😞
