Reaching out here because I'm at my wits end with stomach pain. To make a very long story short, I am having extreme pain in my left side of my abdomen and back every night starting at 5pm and ending in the morning around 6am. This has landed me in urgent care and two ERs and a hospital stay in the past week. I've seen doctor after doctor and no one knows what's wrong. Waiting to see a GI specialist. I was discharged with narcotic pain meds to control it and those don't even work. Totally fine during the day. No problems eating or any other classic lap band complications but my surgeon is not ruling out lap band issues.... Has anyone had this? It's like clock work and I dread every evening. I met with my surgeon today and unfortunately his solution involved going to an ER and hospital that are not on my insurance. Any advice appreciated. The pain is constant, intense and travels throughout my left side. Ruled out OB issues, kidney stones, gallbladder, etc with a CT scan. All bloodwork normal.

That's very odd. I'm sorry, I have no experience with this. Could it just be the way you are sitting, bending? Or is it internal? Are you resting enough? Hang in there, you are doing all the right things getting care. Keep us posted!

Any liver problems? I know for about a week, I was really sore (painful sore, to where I was miserable unless I stretched completely out on my recliner). My husband told me being the surgeon has to go under your liver, it leaves it, and the muscles, sore. I was discharged with Dilaudid for pain, and I would take it at night to help. I noticed the pain was worse on days when I really did more than I should've. Have you been pretty active? Like you, I haven't had any issues like some do post-op, so I was doing a lot more than I was to advised to (because I'm stubborn like that lol). And I paid for it! I was down for the count for about 3 days.

I hope your surgeon and doctors can figure it out. Just remember, there was a lot of moving and shifting and bloating going on in there. I hope it's only temporary...

Hang in there! :)

      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...

      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
