Hi everyone. I am a newby to this site. I had my band surgery just over a week 12/11/12. Everything was going great until yesterday exactly one week from surgery. I started getting a sharp pain on my side. It radiates from the side to my back when I take a deep breath. God help me if I sneeze. I spoke to my Dr about it and he wasn't too concerned. Anyone else have this problem? I love this ap BTW.

I'm soon to be 61 years old, and I get strange pains all the time.....they come and (most importantly) they go...

As long as they don't feel like an elephant sitting on my chest, radiating down my left arm,,,I'm fine....

If your Dr. is not worried, I wouldn't be either..... take an aspirin and call him in the morning....just kidding

(BTW, it sounds like Intercostal Muscle Strain...but that's just my opinion....very painful when you breath)

Off subject, I am curious about your screen name...boilerguy.....if it is what i think it is, I may have a strong connection.....

Sounds like constipation.

Thanks for the reassurance. Hopefully it will go away. You may be right about my screen name. BOILER UP!

Sounds like constipation.

Definitely not that but thanks for the response.

Banded 12-14. And most likely it's port pain that feels like a pulled muscle mine started yesterday at post op day 4. Hang in there
