Hi all...

Have a question... bit concerned...maybe over reacting...

I was in hospital for 4 days, stuck on a liquid diet that was supposed to be post op (surgery #2) but I didn't need to be on because I didn't end up having the surgery. Basically the nurses kept forgetting to ask the doctor if it's ok to chart that I was on solids, so the meal people couldn't do anything about it... and the nurses couldn't get in touch with the doctor because he was off work.

I got home the other night and was STARVVVVVVVVVVVING. So ate a bit too much. Definitely had some discomfort... but I'm certain it was not in the pouch, because 1. I'm not restricted yet 2. I could feel every bite slipping through and 3. I was naughty and drank Water while eating thus food leaving the pouch (my biggest habit is drinking with a meal, slowly tackling that)...

Anyway.

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was getting constipated... I had the pain associated with that in the (I think) right places.. not near the stomach.. over a bit to the right and down a bit. Not as low down as TTOM pain though...

Woke up and drank some metamucil.. in the morning I had no loo troubles... but the shooting pain I felt when bending forward was quite horrible...

After an hour or so it went away. Haven't had that shooting pain again either....

Since then... about half an hour after I eat every single time (and I have been fierce about eating small amounts after the other night...) I get pain in that area (the constipation-ish area) ....Just wondering if anyone has had this and if it's gone away... or if I should be worried at all?? Could me eating too much have done something in that area??

I'm just really confused because I don't believe it's actually associated with the band... but then again I'm not sure :w00t:

It sounds like Appendix pain to me... I'm not a Dr. but who knows? :biggrin:

Do you still have your Gall Bladder?? That could be a culprit as well...sounds similar to the pain I had before mine finally came out.....of course, like Nicole, I'm not a doctor... I would call your surgeon if it continues...
