Hey everyone! I have had a rough journey with my band so far! I got banded 10/21/14 then got a port infection (which hurt like hell by the way!) I was on antibiotics for 4 weeks and had to push gross stuff out of the incision EW! I still haven't had a fill. I have gone from 350 to 328lbs but now I am at a stand still. I have zero restrictions and pretty much able to eat anything although I try to pay attention. Last night I think I ate a bit too much but no nausea but then I got this strange pain in my lower abdomen, it feels like I've done a bunch on sit ups. I've taken gas x but it hasn't gone away. It is uncomfortable and is worse when I stand up a little better when I am sitting or laying down. Has this occurred for anyone else?! I'm a little scared with everything that has happened to me so far!

Did you call you doctor and ask them about it? I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't help you but I am curious. -Jen B.

I have an appt on the 5th but I will probably call him this Monday night if this discomfort is still bad

Called my doctor and he told me to go to ER. Waiting on my results from blood work and CT

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

No PE possible infection but my surgeon doesn't think so. I was given ibuprofen for inflammation I feel a lot better, still just doing liquids because it's still very tight when I swallow. Not sure what caused all this trouble but my lesson has been learned about overeating!!!
