Looking for some help. Got a fill approximately 2 weeks ago on 1-17. Last friday i began to get some back pain that radiated to my left ribs, above my port. I do not have my gallbladder. I know there is a possibility of it being cramps or gas because it does come and go but i am also worried something could be wrong with my band. I have been able to eat normal size lap band servings. Could my port be moving due to weight loss? Any other ideas? Thanks ahead of time!

not all pain is due to band the fact that it comes and goes says to me its gas. if you really thing it is something more go to the doctor better to be safe then sorry.

I'm having the same pain but mine is located below my left breast but seems to be at the top of my rib cage. I have a doctors appt on wed. 02-20-13. I have had this pain now for 4 days, all day. I had the flu and was sick and constantly throwing up. I hope that I didn't cause any damage to my band.

if worried, call and let your doctor know and advise you.

(could be anything from gas to scar tissue forming).
