Lap Band Pain :( Help plez



Recommended Posts

So I had my phys and nutrition evaluation today and I am in pain with my band. I have been having bad acid reflux and now with the acid reflux I have pain at the port and top of my stomach. Any suggestions what it may be, I am fearing slippage before the sleeve. Any ideas or suggestions out there???

Are you unfilled?

Have you tried going to liquids only for a couple of days?

I'm not a doctor, but I've read that often PORT pain can be a sign of erosion. So you may want to get checked out!

Yes MonicaW, I have been on a liquid diet for a couple of days and doing much better thanks. There is still slight pain at the port area but tolerable

You may want to repost this in the Lapband Complications section if you want anymore responses before your doctor's visit.

I once had a case of TERRIBLE port pain caused by....SEX! True story....it took a few days to stop hurting....it was from that area having too much pressure on it during 'the act'.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
