Is this normal?

Ok, so I go out to eat Saturday night and I was very good. I am 4 weeks post op and have been very careful to follow the band rules. I am on mushies and so I ordered egg salad without bread. I have had egg salad at home and didn't have any problems. The egg salad at the diner was huge chucks of egg so I made sure to chewed very well. After I ate I didn't have any problems, but later that night I started having a sharp pain in my upper left abdomen. It comes and goes, but most of the time it feels as though someone is stabbing me. Did I eat too much? I only ate about 3/4 cup. I have been on liquids since then. Will this pass or should I call the DR.

I have to go for a routine X-ray to make sure the band is in the right place. Should I call before I go incase he needs to order other tests?

Please help I am getting really nervous. If I did something wrong I wish it had been on something better like something I am not suppose to eat. Like..... something really yummy, not egg salad.

Thanks

Sounds like gall bladder to me. Have yourself checked out.

I thought the gall bladder was on the right side. I checked Webmd and they said pain on the right. Plus they checked my gall bladder 5 weeks ago before surgery and everything was alright. I called the Dr's office and they said the only thing on the left side was the colon. Maybe I am just backed up. They said it doesn't sound band related. It is so hard to know what is and isn't. When you are so new to it all.

Thanks

You are right. And I've even had my gallbladder out.

DOH.

Nevermind me!

Have you tried a gentle stool softener?
