Slight pain under left rib - Is this a sign of trouble?

Banded about three and a half months ago...

Three days ago I got stuck.

I threw up.

The next day, got stuck again.

Threw up.

For the last 2 days, when I lie on my back

I sometimes feel a small sting under the left side of my rib.

If I try to find the pain with my hand, it disappears.

Could it be just soreness from vomiting

or should I be worried further?

I had a really bad stuck episode last week and had the same aftereffect. A few days later it was gone.

Okay...10 days after my vomity episode, I am still sore.

It's ONLY when I'm sleeping on my back and stretching.

In the middle of the night I will sometimes stretch

(more like contract all my muscles) then roll to my side.

When I contract it feels like I have major bruising

under my ribs and it wakes me up.

Now my doctor never told me that

after a stuck and/or vomit episode

I should not eat for a day.

I just read that here.

Could eating after (not right after, but the same day)

an episode be keeping me sore?

:bored:

I am 3 months post op and still get the pain on my left side, my doc says it is where the port is placed and it can take awhile to completely go away. He said to only worry if a new pain starts or it becomes unbearable.
