I was banded on 6/29/10 and I am having this pain mostly on my left side just under my rib cage. also it feels like something is stuck...i have my self kinda freaked out that something is wrong. has anyone else had this?? i have only been consuming Clear Liquids (water, propel, sf popsicles, sf Jello and Protein shakes) I did stop taking my liquid loratab b/c it was making me way to sleepy and i couldnt take care of my kids.

It's most likely just gas. It builds under/ around your rib cage and into your stomach. Mine was in my chest like someone was sitting on me and my sister was in her shoulder. I wouldn't freak out yet. If it gets worse, lasts a few more days or changes, have it checked...but don't freak out ...I'd venture to say its just gas pains

I was sore for quite a while where they had stitched the band into my stomach and around my port site. Give yourself a little time to heal - you did have pretty major surgery a few days ago. I felt fine within myself a couple of days post op but I over did it a few times and left myself in a little pain because I over estimated my healing powers - was about 3 weeks before I was truly fighting fit.

Good luck.

I'm feeling a bit better now, but yes I have been probably over doing it a bit too. Friday when I posted, I felt like hell and had to sit through 4 hours of class, Saturday I felt better and then today, I had to take my pain meds and take a nap, I was wore out! I just have to male myself take it easy! I am sooo ready to start working out so I can start dropping the lbs!! Thank you for your replies, it def helped me not freak out too much :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
