Hi, im new to this site! I had my banding done on the 14th feb 2012. Just wondering is it normal to have some pain in my right side every now and then?? Thanks!! :-D

Sorry that you have pain. Are you having it when you lay on your stomach? On the right side is the port. It takes time before it feel normal. Or are you having it on the side towards your back? That might be gas. Did you call the drs office?

Hey Bec don't be afraid. It is nothing. Even a flu sot or vacination is worse~ promise. Cross my heart and hope to cry. Sick a finger in my eye!! lol. I am trying to get my b4 and after photos up. I do not know how to do it. but if you can get into my photos you can see it. I think. Ilene

Hi there thanks for that! Glad it doesnt hurt!:-).. No i cant seem to see ur pictures! Is it ok to private message you as ive got couple of other questions to ask u or am i being annoying??? Bec

The port can be on either side and up near the ribs or lower than the waist...you should be able to find it because it is the biggest scar usually with the most bruising. Anyway pain is normal...its like you have been in a knife fight! Good luck!

Bec you are perfect. Lizybird@aol.com, You can see my photos if you click on my picture. See you soon. I also enjoy skype. ilene.falley
