Tiny But Sharp Pain After Lunch



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!!!

This is my first topic (yay)! I checked the forum and couldnt find a topic close to mine so here goes...

I was banded on 5/1/12 and I have no fill yet. I Just had lunch with DH and as soon as I got to my car (we met each other there during work) I started feeling this sharp tiny pain coming from center left (my left) of my abdomen, near my ribcage, maybe kind of where I might have had something stitched.

Its not a humongous pain, but its sharp enough for me to notice that it might be throbbing a little bit at this point after having intermittent pains. I feel that my lunch/dinner was no different or larger than I normally have had since being able to have solids so I dont know what it could be.

Any advice?

I have experienced a similar pain...the doctors are still running tests to determine the cause of it.

If it persists, be sure to notify your surgeon. I hope the pain went away...

It could be where you had a stitch but you are about six weeks post op so shouldn't be too much going on there. It may be totally unrelated to your band. You describe it as tiny so I wouldn't be too worried just yet. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, be sure to get medical advice, just to give you peace of mind.

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
