Band feels as if its sticking me



Recommended Posts

Does anybody ever feel as if their band is sticking them? Sometimes when I cough my band will hurt is this normal? I was banded 9/5/12. Also, sometimes it feel like it hurt or sticks me when I wear my jeans that most of the time are tighter on my stomach than my wrk pants. Sometimes it happen with my work pants also but only when maybe I've eaten a tad too much, I hardly ever overeat I've never had a Bp, thrown up or anything, by the grace of god I've had a great 4 mths of being banded.

I could be wrong but I believe what you are feeling is your port not your band. The band is on the stomach which is above the waist and would be impossible to feel through your liver I would think

Chck ith your dr just to be sure.

If you were newly banded, the port stays sore for 6-8 weeks, but I would think that would be done by now. Did you bump your port? If is is under your waistband it may need to be relocated. Call the doctor is my net advice.

Banded almost two years and still feel my port when pressure applied e.g. tighter fittign pants can put pressure on my port.

Thanks that is exactly when I feel it. When I wear my tight jeans. I wear them much more now since the weight is dropping. Lol

I kept feeling like somethinvg was sticking me and my Dr sent me for a ct scan. My tubing from the band to the port is kinked.

      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! 😞
