i started getting major pain in my front right ribs yesterday.It came on suddenly and then seemed to shift to the back.(right ribs)I cannot take a deep breath AT ALL.It seems a bit tender in my right side as well.Of course the only thing i can worry about is the band has slipped.I am calling th DR at 9am(it's 8 am now)but i suffered all night and had to get my husband to get another Tylenol #2 before getting out of bed at 6am.

I can eat and drink as normal.what is happening!!?

Hi C,

Sorry to hear about your pain!! There are loads of things that can cause abrupt pain such as you describe, so it could be something completely unrelated to your band. My boss just had something like what you describe turn out to be a gallstone attack.

Good luck, and let us know what the doctor says!!
