Im not sure how best to describe this but I'm hoping maybe someone had a similar experience. I'm four months post op and I'm experiencing dull and sometimes sharp pains near my port and also on the left side (even in the middle sometimes, kind of all over I suppose). About one month ago I had a gallbladder attack that put me in the er, which included several hours of dry heaving. I decided not to have it removed because it had gotten better by morning and my doctor said it was up to me if I wanted it removed.

So anyways, eever since that I've had pains in my stomach off and on. This time it's been going on for days and its uncomfortable.

Could I have done damage to my band, is it related to my gallbladder? It's not that bad, so it seems silly to go to the doctor about. Probably is a good idea though. Thoughts?

Also, should add, around this time I had a bad fill. My fill doctor is pretty bad and this last time was the worst. She has trouble finding it, this last time instead of poking me with the needle over and over she left the needle in and just moved it around a lot. Which created a nasty painful bruise that I had for a week. Still hurts a but there.

omg...i would def start looking for another fill doctor!!! thats horrible!

that's interesting because I had the exact same thing happen about 2 weeks ago. The doctor took about 10 minutes to find the port and kept the needle in as it jabbed and clipped off the port a few times. Very uncomfortable. And since then I've had bloating and stomach pain, quite a bit in mid to lower left side. I haven't felt like it was bad enough to go to the doctor yet, but when I got up this morning I felt like it might be time. I think when the port is hard to get to, that sounds like that is a "normal" process, maybe?
