Hi guys,

Just a quick question.. I was banded on the 21st and everything has been good and smooth.. Only thing that i satrted having is that the first day I started moving and doing things I actually got some lie puntcture pain under my left ribs..when doing a deep breath...If i put counter pressure in it with my hand it does go away..usually gets worse when iim done eating as the pouch is full..the pain is handlable

went to my doc wound check and they said it can be a muscle or just sore or an air pocket...but im scared it can be something worse...everyone tells me to chill down as its only been a week and im not takiing no pain medication

also when i stand up from sleepingthe port incision feel like its ripping out from the inside!!! im sure its cause of the still tenderness.

anyone suffered of this?

hey I was banded on the 22nd and I also get this pain, I also get pain in my neck and shoulder...do you? I notice it really only happens at night after dinner so maybe it is gas. I dunno, Im going to my dr on thursday so Ill let ya know what he says.

Cool that ll be nice!!! Your shoulder pain is def gas .you need to walk.that helped me a lot .

good luck at your docs appointment!

I've also been told that the neck and shoulder pain could be that you have taken too much in, I've felt this also.
