I am 11 days out from surgery and my abdominal area is so crampy! Particularly, near my left rib, below by breast. If I take a deep breath it is a sharp-type pain. I have no clue if this is normal or not? I don't want to contact the doctor if this is something that all new bandsters experience.

All advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello Kelli,

I think being crampy is normal. Your body is still going PANIC! PANIC! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO US?????

That said, do not hesitate to call your doctor if you have a fever, swelling or unusual tenderness. Don't hesitate to contact him or her if you have any questions. That's why they get the big bucks.
