I've had my lap band for about 4 and a half months now and I have been doing great I have already lost 52 pounds but here lately for the past month or so I get this pain on the left side of my stomach and if I lay down it calms down but if I walk it hurts more... I comes and goes but I think I get it more after I eat! HELP!

I am also about four months out. Recently I was having searing pain on the left side of my stomach, near my port but I didn't think t was being caused by my port. I thought I must have a hernia or something. Went about a week just trying not to move the wrong way. Luckily I already had an appointment scheduled with my surgeon, he felt around on my stomach and said the only thing he felt was my port and it wasn't unusual to have pain. The pain has since gone away.

Thanks for responding I feel a bit better now that I'm not the only one.... I was thinking maybe my appendix but my pain has been on and off for over a month I doubt that wud be my appendix! Lol

N.p maybe have your doc look at it the next time you go.
