I am so so happy with my results with lap band.. have lost 62 pounds since my surgery on August 9th. I'm on the tighest adjustment now. I'm having severe right side pain.. under my breast and ribs on right side. Yes I've been tested and looked at for gallstones already.. anyone else having this problem? Doc says its just from my port.. but its been months.. and it hurts alot.. all the time.

Also - after the final adjustment - has anyone had more problems eating? I throw up alot more.. even though I don't beleive I'm overeating..

When I had the pain you are describing, they removed my gallbladder. You said you were already checked for that, though. Did you pull any muscles or overexert yourself? Not sure what else could be in that vicinity. Your port certainly shouldn't hurt you at this point so I'm not sure I agree with the doctor. I hope you find the soucrce of your severe pain, that does concern me.

If you are throwing up each time you eat and not overeating, I would tend to think you are too tight. As long as you are eating slow and the right things, you shouldn't be getting sick like that (especially since you said you're not overeating.) It's funny, certain things if I have them, I immediately feel that dreaded stuck feeling coming on - this past Sunday it happened with cajun shrimp. I realized a little too late they were too dry for me. Up they came after a little agonizing discomfort. I usually don't have any problems at all but I recently had a fill in January and am learning what my limitations are.

I wish you luck with figuring out the pain, that stinks when you're doing so great! If you call your doctor often enough, I'm sure he or he will pay more attention to what is wrong and may figure out the source. Hope you feel better!
