hi all!

I was banded on Monday Aug. 13. I'm really feeling great all in all. even wound up on my stomach last nite sleeping.. !

BUT (there is always a but)

i have this SEARING pain on my right side. not where the cut is. but like an inch or 2 over. and the port isn't there (at least that's what Dr. told me). So when i asked her she said she may have cut some nerve endings and pain will be there for a few weeks. (thanks)..

The thing is i can sit and canlay with right foot bend. And when i stand if crouch over to the rite side i'm ok.. (just looks a little retarded) and if i lift my rite foot like on a ledge of chair when i stand it's fine..

ANYONE have experience with this???? I feel like my muscle there is RIPING APART....

it scares me..

THanks

I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain, how awful! No help here, I haven't been banded yet. Just wanted to say hope you feel better!

Does the pain move around or is it in EXACTLY the same place all the time?

I ask that because you are ripe for gas about now. It could be that....you didn't mention having any gas pains yet....

HI Kacee

Nope, pain is in one place.. feels like my muscle is ripping..

gas is separate.. have that and THAT is moving. man. not happy ab. that..

but i can live w/ it.. it's the searing pain that is totally limiting me..

:help:

Adhesions is one thing that comes to mind. However, that doesn't really sound right. I'd get back with your doctor and I would INSIST.

Hi everyone I registered today. Just this week I started thinkng about getting banded.I'm having all kind of good but mostly bad thoughts. I want this but I'm worried about the change in my eating habits and the side affect when I get older. Please talk to me

I agree _ that doesn't sound right. I was banded on wednesday and I have the not so lovely gas pains, but no muscle pain- although my whole belly is quite tight feeling. I also now can't tell what's hunger pain or gas pain....

Muscles and ligaments get all tweaked during any surgical invasion. Could it be various internal filaments balking at movement until their bruising heals?

Take the painkillers your doctor prescribed for you. If they are ineffective, demand stronger painkillers.
