I have been banded for one year now. I have started having some pain on my left side, low, not near my port. I get side aches after I eat. I have had an ultrasound (showing nothing) and a CT scan last week (still awaiting results) and am supposed to be having a colonoscopy (it keeps getting rescheduled). I am uncomfortable all day (not miserable, I know the pain is there though...). It hurts when I go to the bathroom (#2) most. Has anyone else had this?

me too! I am laughing as I ready your posts. I was banded 6/12. My burps are so long and loud! Very lady like. Now that I am at work I try to internalize them, but it is hard!

Melissa, how did this turn out for you? My surgery with Dr. Oh is June 12. I don't think I have heard of a band leaking.
