Hello, I was banded in TJ June 2006. Wow a year has gone by. I have been having some tenderness on my right side up under my rib cage. Sometimes I feel as if the food makes through the band then stops at this spot and it pretty tender if I push on it. Anyone have any of these problems. Thanks

I have---especially when I haven't chewed the food really well...or I ate too fast. I am assuming your have a fill doctor in the states? If so, don't take my word for it...go and tell your doctor the symptoms that you are having.

I was having the same thing and thought it was my band. It turned out to be my Gallbladder. I had to have emergency surgery to remove it on wed. Get it checked out. Trust me you don't want to experience the pain of a stuck gall stone.

Yup, that is what I was going to say---Gallbladder. Especially if you have lost a lot of weight. Need to get it checked out soon!

trust me.. it hurts like hell! I'm still healing from it, I healed faster from the band then from getting my gallbladder out.

Yes Gall bladder is a definite suspect. You must drink all the water when losing weight. Like two quarts a day or more.

Weightloss without the clear water equals stones. They really really do hurt.

sometimes depending on the time of meedication to put you under can cause gas pain and if they use co2 to inflate the lower tummy that will hurt like the devil trying to get out, I was told it works its way out through your upper torso and it did with me, everytime I had surgery it flet like a pain I never had before and don't want to remember

Tenderness can be from going off yur program. For example, eating fast and not chewing. Gulping air, wrong food choices, stuff like that.

I would suggest you go back to liquids for a day maybe two and see if the tenderness disapates.

Of course as always call you DR. and see what he / she suggests as well.
