I am 2 1/2 mos post band. I have had a two fills with a total of 3 cc in my band. I sometimes get a sharp tearing or cutting feeling right where i expect my band to be on one side. Its not there all the time and seems to be there more after i eat then any other time. Its also tonight it notice seems to be slightly relieved with burbing. I am wondering has anyone else experienced this pain and what it might be....

Sounds like you're getting stuck while eating.

Its not during eating more after i am done... It does have me worried but i am not like having vomiting and i am keeping food down. Worried bout slipping but most of what i read say that your very sick with vomiting when that happens....

gallbladder possibly? I would recommend seeing your surgeon to rule out what it could be.

wrong side of the abd for gb its more on the left side of my band. Not there all the time. i see my surgeon on the 16th if it gets worse or does not get better then i am going to discuss it with him. Just was hoping maybe someone else had felt the same thing.

For what it is worth....I just went to the ER 1.5 months ago with abdominal pain. Since no one knew what it was....they wanted to rule our heart problems.

In short....they found stones in my gall bladder...and the pain was RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF MY STOMACH. Instead of surgery...I was very thankful for a natural cure of Olive Oil and Lemon juice...and sure enough.....these tiny green gall bladder stones came out in my stool.

Not saying this is your gallbladder....but don't rule out gall bladder if its not on the right side of your stomach as it doesn't have to be there..

True my mom had chest pain and it was her gb

I get those pains too usually when i eat too fast. I dont get it while eating i get them after i am done eating. I was told that the band expands and hits our wall so that it what usually causes the pain. It's like swollen of the band line ;0

Pinkygirl Ty .. I sorta thought that was it. It seems to be if i eat to much or to fast that i get them. I am an RN and had ruled out gallbladder myself. Seems i have not had the pains in a few days. Trying real hard to slow down take my time and do this right to prevent the pain. The night i wrote this i was having them pretty bad and was scared i had messed up my band...

I had mine in April. Only felt that type of pain after eating too quickly. Felt like I was gonna die type chest pain. Bad enuf to take my breath away. Learned my lesson. I make sure to chew slowly and chew a lot I currently have 4.6 cc in my band. Good luck!
