I did blend/puree the pork chop and even chewed. The doctor told me it had nothing to do with the lapband for the pain. It was where he inserted the scope there was a hematoma underneath and causing like a gas bubble. Therefore, the pain was from that. I was scared to death though because I did think maybe I ate to much or something. I am staying away from pork for a while though. Thanks again for all of your help.

I was banded on March 21, 2006 and 4 days on the liquid diet I could not take anymore without food I was weak. So I called the nutricianist and she put me on the soft foods. Well, things went ok for a a few days and I realized if I ate too much I would have this pain. Well last night we had grilled pork chops for dinner and I only ate one and the pain flared up and it hurts like heck underneath my left rib area. I thought maybe if I got sick I would feel better but couldn't do it. I went to bed and could only lay on my right side and this morning the pain is still there. I hope this is not a sign of band slippage or anything major because I sure don't need another surgery right now. If anyone can help me, please let me know. I have lost 15 pounds since the surgery which is wonderful for me because my asthma symptoms are gone!! Thanks All!!
