I am having some odd pains 3 months out

I was banded about three months ago and it has been non-eventful. Pretty much what I expected. total 7cc in a 14cc band at this time. Today I have been having a consistant cramping type pain. It is a sharp pain that goes away about as fast as it hits me. It is a little over 2 inches below my port. I was wondering if anyone else has had this.

Is it maybe from working out/ You may have pulled or twisted or just done something a bit harder or a bit different to usual and that could have caused it.

sounds like your constipated...happens a fair amount in new bandings...increase your fiber or take an exlax and see if it doesnt go away after a good clean out.

I have an occasional pain on my left side, opposite of my port. My doctor said that even three months out (which is what I am, too) that your body is still not completely healed so if you do anything strenuous it can aggravate some of the internal workings because they did a lot of moving around in there.

But, I do agree that it comes and goes with constipation, too.

I agree that even 3 months out, you're still not completely healed. I ended up in the ER almost three months out from intense abdominal pain. Turns out I had popped an internal stitch from coughing so much (I had bronchitis).
