Recommended Posts

I was banded on October 1st. Around the 9th day post op, I was feeling much better. meaning I had no more gas pain, I could sleep on my side and I was starting to feel hungry. I have been sticking to my post op diet and the amount of food I'm suppose to eat. yesterday I started feeling a sharp pain on my right side when I take a deep breath. has anyone else experienced this?

Hey there,

I was banded on the 1st too and at about day 8 I also started having sharp pain on my right side in the location of the port. Mine isn't from breathing deep though. Mine is strictly when I move to get up from a sitting or lying position. I had my first OP appt. yesterday and the surgeon couldn't really tell much cause there still a lot of swelling, but said he would know for sure if something isn't right when I go in for my first fill on Nov. 8th cause the swelling should be gone by then.

Have you tried feeling for the exact location of the pain to see where it's coming from?

      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! 😞
