deja11293 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I was banded 12/29/10, I have had 2 fills but had the 2nd one removed a week later because I was too tight and could keep nothing down. Anyway since the unfill my left side has been sore by my port, my lower back and side. I also feel bloated and have more gas than normal. The pain gets worse after eating, but I don't think I over eat, I measure my food. Sometimes the pain is bad and other times it's just a dull pain. Sometimes it goes away at night and then comes back the next morning.Also sometimes I have like a belly ache, but nothing real bad. But when that happens I start to wonder if I'm caughting something, then it goes away. I'm not sure if I should call the doctor or not. He thought I was eating to much or too fast after my 2nd fill and that was why nothing stayed down. Yet after unfill I ate the same and I was fine. I did have the foamies a few times, but I know I ate fast then. So anyway anyone know why I feel this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaG Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 WOW... this sounds painful. I got banded the day before you and I had an experience with pain on my port area after I ate but this was due to irritation.. I drank too much one day and threw up and totally irritated my band. A few days of liquids fixed it back up. But CALL THE DOCTOR. I wouldn't expect anyone on here to tell you what's wrong with you and be right. I suggest you call. I made a post when I was irritated wondering if anyone else experienced it... but I got a sense of relief when Dr. So knew exactly what it was when I explained the symptoms. So call them. It seriously only takes like a few minutes and you should be able to talk directly to the Dr. Keep us posted. I really want to know what it is that you're going through. I really hope you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaAnn Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hey, I had a complete unfill before I had revision surgery and I have had the same symptoms as you, especially the GAS! It sucks. But, revision tomorrow so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaAnn Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Not to sound dumb, but what is the revision? And good luck with it. Let me know how it goes.. No problem. I went from lapband to sleeve--had the band removed and the sleeve done in one surgery, revised to sleeve, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzettem Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wow! This is interesting. I'm glad the revision is possible to do. Looks like you are still losing weight with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcousins Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Does the sleeve provide greater flexibility with regards to what you can eat? I don't know a whole lot about it, but if it helps with food choices and makes it easier to eat small meals, I'll have to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
