I'm not sure when you were banded, or if you have lost a lot of weight since then, but sometimes when your gall bladder is acting up you can get what is called "referred pain" - which basically means that your pain can be in a different location than where you actual gall bladder is. I've heard of people saying their pain was in the middle of their back, or their shoulder or chest area. Just a thought. But I would definitely call my doc and tell him about the pain.

You also didn't mention if you have been constipated. You really need to make sure you are able to take in fluids - so important to keeping your bowels moving. If you are, try some stool softeners, or even suppositories if you are in that much pain and think that is the problem. Believe me, it "ain't much fun"!

I WAS BAND ON THE 21 OF APRIL LAST YEAR AND I LOST ABOUT 85 POUNDS SO FAR, I AM ASSUMING IT WAS GAS BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO EAT LASTNIGHT AND TONIGHT AND I GOING TO THE BATHROOM LIKE CRAZY CAUSE I WAS DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER AND TAKING GAS X STRIPS AND DRINKING CHOCOLATE MILK . I FEEL MUCH BETTER THANK YOU GUYS:rolleyes2:
