Hi if it helps I too am experiencing what you are, I was banded ont eh 29th July and am only a few days post op. I have a feeling of pinching/stitch mainly on my left side that tends to get worse from time to time, its as if when you breath in you are really short of breath, I understand this is from gas, ive not really had any burps yet (also had Gastric Reflux Op at the same time) and have only passed a little wind (usually this is all day everyday!) I am helping this by doing gentle stretches and trying to do plenty of walking, im hoping this will shift the gas, either that or when I was under the knife they whipped one of my lungs out! Opps shouldn't joke! I hope you feel better.:eek:

As a new bandster I had my op on sat and am feeling really bloated and sore around my port area, breathless and pinching under my port side ribs, my right side feels fine but the port is really tender, how long will it be before i feel a bit better?
