post op lap band removal strange symptoms

thanks for the comment sos. will chat to dr first thing.

Hi - I had a 3 hr surgery removing band, hiatus hernia repair (thankyou band) & sleeve all done at once as well a large oozing haematoma post op for about a week & NEVER had any symptoms like you have!!!
You need to go to your Dr ASAP as may be infection or nerve damage maybe - who knows but it needs checking out urgently.
Take care!!!

Hello I had my lap band for 2 years. I went below my goal weight by about 4 kilos due to the fact that I couldn't keep food or liquids down as the band had slipped and the pouch was very swollen. It will be three weeks on Tuesday and after my doctor did a little prodding around my abdomen at my post op appointment last Tuesday I've been experiencing drop to your knees cramps that come and go at will. the abdomen is tender overall but the cramping experience is excrutiating when it happens. I can't place triggers so I can't really seem to figure out how to prevent it. Sitting quietly with a heat pad on my stomach helps avoid them but I can't sit 24 hours 7 days a week. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is it temporary?

For those how have been sleeved, does this happen?

thanks. I "luvlife" and don't want to sit on the couch and miss it.
