Looking for some advice



Recommended Posts

Hi all,new to this place and was looking for some advice for my girlfriend.She had a lap band installed last year and lost 13 stone.The only problem is that she now seems in constant pain with the main pressure on the left hand side of the stomach.She is having to dose herself up every day with painkillers just to get through the day and the docs seem to be at a loss to explain what it could be.Anyone got an idea hwhat it could b please?

Sorry Serpico, I have zero idea what that pain could be. Seems like if the pain is that intense, she should stay after her doctor to keep running tests until they find out what's going on.

Did they check to nake sure her band did not slip or her port didn't flip?

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what has happened but she goes back to the hospital this week for some sort of tests.Maybe the will give us some clearer picture of what is going on.

I would hope that she would get an MRI or something and if her band slipped get it fixed asap. I hope she is feeling better soon. Just be supportive and help her through this, she will be better soon.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
