I was banded on 6/22/10! Yay for me! For the most part things have been pretty smooth sailing. I didn't have a whole lot of pain and I recovered nicely. Now for the past three days I have had this pain in the left upper quadrant of my abdomen. It's not excrutiating pain but I can certainly feel it. Did anyone experience this? Does anyone have any suggestions of what it could be? I can still eat and I can still drink, it just bothers me some. Should I call the doctor? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I had this pain too. Nowhere near an incision. I really think it was gas. I'm 8 days post-op and don't feel it as regularly as I did, but occasionally it does.

I know you had surgery before me, but it's really possible it's still gas pains.

Do you have a post-op dr visit soon?

I go in on the 21st for my first fill. It might be gas, I don't know! I'm worried about slippage but from what I have read on here, if the band slipped I would definitely feel it. Congrats on your band!

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

      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! 😞
