I feel like I'm using this forum a lot lately! I appreciate all of the feed back!

I went in March 10 for a check up and had .5 cc removed from my band. I had the Fluid removed voluntarily because I was sick and having a hard time staying hydrated. My doctor's office conducted a barium swallow test and found that my band and everything else was in good shape. My nurse has no issues finding my port and removing the Fluid. She did use a different kind of needle this time. However, since the small unfill, I have had a dull, achy pain in my stomach area. I don't have any problems eating, no nausea, or any other issues, just the pain. So my question is, is is common to have some pain after and unfill? My doctors office is closed until Monday.

Thanks for any responses.

I don't have the scientific reasoning behind it but I too don't feel so hot after a fill. there is a small and I mean small amount of discomfort at the port site. I also get a lower back ache. I think it's because I have to lay flat and raise my head for the port to be in the right position. this discomfort is usually gone the next day. if your's isn't even if your doctor's office is closed they have someone on call to answer your question. just call your doctors telephone number. hope you feel better quickly

      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.

        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!
