Hello,

I have my surgery on 12/4/09 and for the last three days I've been getting stomach pain around noon. Every morning I have a protein shake at 6:30 am and I'm fine.

It feels like someone is twisting my stomach. The pain is at the top of my stomach. There is no pain at the incision sights.

Please help.

Thank you,

Mike

Ouch, hope you can get that figured out and take care of whatever is causing it.

Hi there. I was banded on the 3rd and have experienced something that sounds similar. Have you tried having more when the pain comes on? If you are "eating" at 6:30, then you are more than likely "hungry" again by noon. I have found that that is the case for me and my band. I talked with the doc today and he said that at this point, we should be having a little something every 4-5 hours. Let me know how it goes!!

I have a lot of pain these days too...could it be gas? I think mine is. I was on liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and 2 weeks after surgery .... do you think its your tummy rebelling after all the liquid? If it is it will pass....get some chewable gas x and eat like 6 see if it helps. If not you got some extra calcium, its worth a try!
