Pain On Left Side

[dimplesf4 0]

I'm Month post op and am down 20lbs but for the past week I'm experiencing a sharp pain below left breast in my side. Hurts when I inhale. It's been sort of difficult working out lately. Anyone else experience this???

I did the first couple of weeks...I thought it may be where they stitch the band in place to keep it from slipping.

I was banded on the 24th of August! I had real bad pains in my left side. My doctor tole me the only thing that on the left said is my colon and that the pain meds blocke me up and I basically need to have a bm But I informed the doctor that I did not feel as if I could use the bath room. He told me to take milk of magnesia for 3 days an it would make me have a BM and I should be fine, I was!!!!

I also read that many are on a softer for a long time. Not to take a laxative though because your body can become dependent

sounds exactly like what I had -- bad gas!! sharp shooting pain like a stitch in the side, hurt to lie on it, hurt to roll over, hurt to move... take lots of gasx and time... it'll go away eventually
