Pain At Night



Recommended Posts

I have been woken a time or two during the night with a pain. I am quessing that it is from the port.

When I twist or stretch at night, it feels like little needles. I am little more than a year post band. Love my band. Just worried that I might be messing something up. Which is silly, because we are suppose to be able to workout and not cause damage.

Anyone else having this.

I had surgery 9/08 and every once in awhile I get a twinge here and there in the area around the port. I think it could be related to how the port was secured and nerves etc. I also sometimes get what feels like a charlie horse in the area of my port, the same type of cramp you get in calves when one is dehydrated. Of all things it can come on during sex or if I stretch a certain way lol...go figure (so I try to keep hydrated)

But I have found that I lay back, make sure to drink alot of Fluid and maybe even eat a banana, it will go away. I had one about a month ago that lasted off and on about an hour!!! I drank, and put a heating pad on it to relax the area. I know my band is fine, i just had an upper GI and a new fill two weeks ago.

I can relate to the pain at night when laying down on that side. mine feels as if the stomach fat maybe caught between the band,stomach, and ribs(weird) I have to toss and squirm a while to get comfortable and then be awakened by caughing and reflux. reflux is in the past now, but I still hurt in that area when exercising.

      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... :(
