:help: I just got banded on 7/17 and I want to know if any of you have experienced twitches or jumping sensation around the area of the port???? It feels kinda like if there were lots of gas moving in there, and for those that have been pregnant it feels like when a baby is kicking. It's not a very pleasant sensation right now, since I'm still sore and its been happening to me all day long yesterday and today. Also, why am I so cold???? I wear pajamas, long sleeves, socks and go under the covers and I cant seem to warm up. Please let me know what it is and what to do. THanks!!!!!

I dont know much about the port because I havent been banded yet. But when ever I fast food and just do liquids I usally feel cold. That could be it but I dont know. However everything I have been reading tells me you should contact your doctor about how you are feeling. Better safe then sorry. Best of luck to you.

OMG,

I told my husband on day 5 that I feel something that feels just like when I was pregnant and the baby kicking. He's fixed and I am not and we have our first granddaughter and he was like, ummmm, you better not be. It was funny but I had that exact same feeling.

Not sure about the cold feeling, but I have and still do experience lots of gas in my belly.....If it becomes bothersome, ask your doctor if you can/should take GASX. That stuff has saved my life a many of days!!!

I was also banded on 7-17-06. I still feel the gas that you are feeling and everyone tells me that is normal. Like last night it was really bad and really uncomfortable, I just took 2 gasx and everything was fine. I don't know about your being cold though maybe you should call your doctor and see if it is normal?

I was banded on 4/10/06 and I had the same pain and sensations. It really is like a baby moving around! I found that I had more discomfort when I would move from one position to another. It did eventually go away, but it took about 2weeks to be completely gone.

Hey, thanks for all the input guys. My gas problem has slowly resolved, and the cold my doctor said it was because I wasn't getting enough calories in my liquid diet. Now I'm on Mushies so I feel lots better. I'm just now trying to get used to the 3tbsp each meal. Boy!! that seems like such a tiny portion!!!! I'm not hungry, tho'.. just trying to adjust my eyes to this kind of portions. Well, thanks again for all your input!!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
