OK, I was banded on the 10-01-10 and have felt pretty great overall....except for one thing. The past 3 days I have had a terrible stitch in my left side! Not near any incision site, but in my ribs, like I've been running....only I havent been running. And sometimes there's 2, one about the middle of my ribs and the other lower. I can feel it if I breathe deep and when I'm walking around.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this and has any suggestions?:w00t:

I was banded on 10/7 and I felt the same way for 2 weeks. It's gone now, but my doc told me it probably was a stitch and occasionally people get them after surgery.

I had this..i havnt had this felling since running in gym in middle school!..lol..but its that same achy pain you get after you run...anyway, I had it for a few days after my 1st fill and had it again after my 2nd fill this week. its on my left side and seems far away from my port and band but the doctor said it could of been gas or just pain from the band that maybe felt like it was further over than it really was..who knows but it does go away and I didnt get concerned about it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
