2 months out and starting to have pain



Recommended Posts

I am a little over 2 months into the band and everything has been going really well. I've lost about 35 lbs and will have my 2nd fill on Dec 10th. For the past 3 days I've had this pain on my left side only. Kinda feels like its under my rib cage and hurts when I take in deep breaths. Not sure if its my port its on the same side but lower. Has anyone experienced this? Didn't know if I should contact my doctor but its not getting better and hurts a little more each day. My drinking and eating is fine. Any ideas on what this could be is appreciated.

I think you should call your doctor. That is really the only way to know for sure what is going on. That is what they are are there for. I hope you feel better soon.

I would definitely call your doctor right away as well, especially since you feel it under your rib cage which is not really that far away from the band. It is also a holiday week if you are in the US so it is bette to call today then to wait until next Monday.

How has your eating been since your last fill?? Have you gotten stuck at all or had an vomiting or pb episodes?

Thanks Slim-n-tn and Heather O for responded I'm taking your advice and have a call into my doctor now. My eating has been fine since my last fill on the Nov 3rd and actually the entire time I've had the band. I am really carefull about chewing and eating slow and I've yet to throw anything up or slime, Thank Goodness. That is why this pain is really weird and out of no where.:) I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. I was sore after the surgery but this feels different, really sharp when I inhale hurts the most and when I walk around.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
