Hi there! I received my lap band on November 1, 2012. For the past two days, I have been experiencing a stitch or cramp underneath my left breast over close to my side. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what it may be caused by? Otherwise I am feeling well. Thank you and I hope someone is able to reply. Thank you and I hope someone is able to reply. quite well and looking forward to eventually

5 years post op and I still get that cramp about two or three times a month! No clue what it is.

I had that for 1 1/2 wks and I figured it was gas or a nerve thing. During surgery they are moving things around. It was the kinda pain you would get if you ran to far, like you said a stitch in your side. It did go away. I'm 3 1/2wks out.

You can call your Dr. and see what they say if it really bothers you.
