I have also been getting this since being banded. I'm sure it's acid reflux, I am going to talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment. I get it mainly after eating fruit.

Okay guys, I had my first fill a week and a half ago, this was 6 weeks post op. Ever since then I have been having sharp pains over my port area when I stand up or twist. Called my doctors office and they reassured me I was fine as long as it wasn't red, warm, or running a fever...which I am not. Is this just scar tissue irritated? Anyone else experienced this? Please tell me this goes away...
