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....

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..

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
