Hi guys,

Just want to say I think this site is the bomb!!! got my band a month ago and got an infection in the port area not nice but I'm healing up good now which is the main thing  just wanted to see if anyone else got a stitch feeling in either side of their belly I get it alot and not always when I eat it's not really painful just annoying more so.. Hope it doesn't mean there Is a bigger problem! Thanks! Carnt wait to hear back from you all

i got banded last thursday and i have the same stitch like pain in my left side. i thought the port was there but its on the right side. im not any help as to what this pain is since im new to banderland but at least u know u rnt alone. hope to get some answers too

I think its common, although cant give details. I got banded on Dec 22nd and get a pain in my left side, near my belly button, when I exercise or walk long distances. Its painful, but not enough to stop me.

You are definitely still healing!

It's air/gas trapped. It eventually works its self out
