Is this pain weight related?

Mrs Husker

When I am in bed and roll from my side to my back, I get a pain in my lower abdomen. I feels as if something is ripping. It does not happen all the time, but in the last few days, I have had the same pain when standing up, pushing a chair back with my legs and just this morning, sneezing. Does/did anyone ever have this problem?

You don't mention how long you've been banded. I occasionally experienced what you decribed at about 6-7 weeks post-op. My surgeon told me it was the tightening of the sutures on the abdominal wall where the port is secured and not to be concerned. If you're concerned, give your MD a call.

Oh boy does this sound familiar! Its most likely weak muscles. You turn a certain way and ouch!

Since I've lost weight, I'm getting the oddest pains in different places. The latest is a sharp "TWANG" in the tendon down the inside of my leg, up near my hip. Just about makes me want to throw up. My poor body. It's been so in active for so long that it's freaking out about this thing called "walking"!

I haven't had this problem, but I think you might want to see your doctor. The thing that comes to my mind is maybe a hernia of some sort?
