Need Help Please I'm Scared



Recommended Posts

I have a pain in my left side. It feels like if I went out and ran two miles and my muscles craps. What are the symptoms of a slipped band. What should I be looking for. I am still losing weight and can still eat and drink and have no problems. I was banded 5/6/11 and have lost 56 lbs and I workout alot so I don't know if I pulled a muscle or what. I am afraid I have hurt my band and I really don't want that. Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you all so much if you can help.

Not sure whats going on but if i can help at all i would just say that even if it is just a pulled muscle i would call your doctor and have it checked out just incase. It never hurts to be safe. Sorry i couldnt help more.

If the pain is in your side i would think it is unlikely to be a slipped band, the pain from that would be felt higher up. It could be a pulled muscle, it could be a stitch from your port or................ As Kara say's the best way to get peace of mid is to talk to your Dr.

I had this same problem about a week ago, only to find out it was GAS! It is very scary to have this pain and not understand why. See if you are eating anything that may give you gas. I am glad to say it passed in a day or so. I do hope that is only gas for you as well.

Good luck

Please go see your doctor if you take a Gas X and nothing happens.Are you constipated at all? Sometimes thesmaller amount of Water we take in post op causes this.Also could it be gallstones from rapid weight loss perhaps?Anyway call the doctor if the gas meds don't work.

I was banded a little over 1 month ago and I've been having the same pain. It first started in my lower right side. I thought it was my appendix the pain was so sudden and severe. My doctor said I may have tweeked a muscle while walking. Now, 2 days later, the pain traveled over to my left side. I've noticed that I'm a little more gassy than usual, but I can't imagine this much pain from just having gas.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
