Hello out there October family - lower stomach pains

My name is "MotherLove" - 10/20/04 My stats: Consult - 370lbs Pre OP - 357.4 Last Weigh In 1/20/05 302.4 Has anyone experince any lower stomach discomfort. Not in the pouch. Around the waist area. These pains are not everyday but when they come they are very uncomfortable. I recently had a CAT Scan done (Tues) no results yet. I wonder if it because I changed my vitamins and calcium? I am now taking Centrium Orange chewable, still on actigall, Viactiv, B-12 and Biotin. Comments/suggestions MotherLove

I sometimes get cramps, some minor, some pretty severe. Most of the time it's because I eat too fast or too much. They go away after a few minutes. I haven't done anything about them.

Thank Joanne. I know all about them and eating too fast they too are a pain. And I have done my share of that but learned fast!! I could be sitting at work and they just pop up and could last for a few hours. If they are still there - as soon as I go home and take my clothes off they seem to lighten up and then fade away. No the waist is not too tight (smile). This happens even wearing elastic waist pants. Weird huh!

For me there is nothing wrose than eating too fast. the pains dont go away for several hours . but once or twice is an experience that teaches you a storng lesson. the only pain I have experienced in past months is sort of a muscle pain in my lower chest area that I feel is caused by the sagging skin. since most of my weight seems to have gone from my chest and but area but hardly any from my stomach. It is hard to discribe the feeling but it feels like if I had some type of support to my chest the pain would be gone. it is not sharp just uncomfortable and I usually feel it after I walk a mile or so. hope everyone is having a great day.

I had cramps in the waist area for a few days, had a ctf scan and was sent immediately from the radiologist to an operating room for an apendectomy!!! Let's hope your pain is not the same thing I had.

i was feeling lower stomach discomfort sunday night for the first time. it was not related to eating because it was not while i was eating. and i did not feel sick to my stomach. i was very conserned because i had not felt it before. monday morning everything was fine. but i had probems eating lunch and some problems eating dinner then tuesday i wasnt able to keep anything down and was admitted into the hospital on tuesday. they did an upper gi and blood test and everything was ok. the took some fluid out of my band and put me back on liquids. they thought it was from vomiting that i may have caused swelling. i dont know if any of the problems were related to the stomach discomfort i had on sunday but it you cant rule it out either???
