I was banded in December of 2008 and have lost 77 lbs. I am 1/2 lb from a healthy BMI, my original goal (I think I will try and go lower). I did have a fill approximately a month ago and am feeling like it is a sweet spot as I have lost about 5 lbs since.

However, for the last week I am having a lot of pain on the left side of my port. My port does pooch out just below my rib cage, but I wasn't going to address that problem unitl I felt I was at my final weight. The pain feels like it is in the muscle almost like a stich in my side.

Does anyone know what would be causing pain this far out from surgery? Do I need to get an unfill?

Thanks

It is very possible that you sneezed or coughed wrong and don't even remember....or lifted something that didn't hurt at the time. It doesn't sound like the kind of problem an unfill would help with.

I agree, it sounds like it muscular pain. If all else is fine, give it a couple of weeks to heal itself and if it doesn't improve call your doc's for an appt.

Good luck and congratulations on your wt loss.
