Banded on the 5/24 and have never had this issue till now .... Any suggestions ??

I had the same issue! i have been banded a year and a half... i remember the first 2 months i had the worst pain everytime i would breath too deep. did they give u a inhaler type thing when u were first banded? it's a really weird device that ure suppose to use to help you breath after your first banded.

They did ... I'll try that thank you!!

I had the same pain. Are you still using the spirometer? It really seemed to help, but time will be the biggest help.

I had that same pain for over three weeks after I was banded on 4/23. It felt like I had a stitch in my side from running too much. It finally went away.and, yes I used the spirometer, maybe that's what helped. I'm unsure, just happy it's gone.

I was banded this morning. Yes it is like a stitch from running. Trying to use breathing thing every half hour or so. Have a headache but guessing lack of caffeine!

You probably already know this, but you should check your temp whenever you've had surgery. I too thought I was having headaches because of the lack of caffeine. As it turns out I was actualy running a low grade fever a couple of days after surgery. My largest incision started looking really ugly. Red, swollen& warm to the touch. I ended up on antibiotics the next day. Make sure you take your temp.

Just talked to my surgeons nurse and she thinks possibly kidney stones ??? Ugh have dt appt tomorrow morning

Just an update .. Trip to ER ... Severely constipated .. (tmi sorry).... Left side pain unbearable ... Alls well now..Still very sore but back on track... Just a lesson learned on keeping up with fiber etc ... Which for me watermelon works like a charm.... Thanks for advice everyone

I had this pain too, dr said it was from the band irritating my diaphragm... I'm ok now it was just at beginning it hurt so bad I kept heating pad on it
