Topic: RE: left pain in abdomen area, like a pulled muscle
Oh gosh YES! I did it twice really bad (turning over in bed) and the first time I had cramps everytime I swallowed something cold but, 24 hrs. later, it was like it never happened. I had my RNY on 7/23 and I feel like nothing ever happened (surgery-wise). If it wasn't for the smaller stomach I'd swear nothing took place! Hang in there!

Topic: RE: left pain in abdomen area, like a pulled muscle
I was given a hand out by my surgeon's office telling me to expect this exact pain 9described as pulling or tightening sentation) anywhere from 1-6 weeks out. That is where most the work is done left side & has it heals it "pulls" a little. The hand out also said either a binder or tight-ish griddle would alievate most of that pain, but regardless it would go away on it's own. (Hope that helps)

Does anyone know if MS Medicaid &/or Medicare will pay on the LAP Band? I have a friend who is considering the surgery but is scared medicaid/medicare will not pay for the lap band. She is a breast cancer survivor and is wanting the lap incase she should ever have to take chemo again (nutrtional reasons). Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated!!
