possible complication freaking out a bit



Recommended Posts

<p>I am freaking out a bit. I tried looking up what it could be. I have left side pain , i guess where the band is placed around the stomach from the info i could find online. Basically by the ribcage. It is all puffy and extends out. I don't have any other side effect, i can eat and drink just fine. What could it be? It looks like a puffy lump, i guess the size of a cell phone sorry thats all i could think of as a comparison and it puffs out about an inch. The area is not warm or does not look infected. I hope I am making sense here. What could it be? I don't want to over react and but i am kinda worried. i have not eaten anything that could be stuck. anyone have any thoughts what it could be?</p> <p> </p> <p>Cindy</p> i am not sure if i posted this in the right forum, and my port is under my belly button so it would not be the port area.

Since its been almost a month after your surgery, call your dr and explain it to him/her. I wouldnt want to guess because I am not that familiar yet with the things that come up. Hope all works out, keep us posted....Dave

I got banded 10/26 I also have a raised area but more in the front. maybe not a big but I am not concerned It is swollen. I go to the Surgeon tonite and will question it. Dont forget they move alot of stuff around It could be a musssle healing.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
