Hi there,

I was banded on June 6, 2007, and have lost 27 lbs so far. I had my first fill done on July 23, 2007 and got 2cc. Everything is going good. Still trying to stick to soft foods and liquids like shakes and yogurt. I started having this pain on Wednesday evening after my fill had been done, and it is kind of between where the longer incision was done (where the port is placed), and where the Dr. actually put the needle in to do the fill ( which is below the bigger incision area). The pain is about in the middle there on the left side. Also hurts in my back like the pain goes straight through. It hurts more when I am standing and when I push in on that area it is tender. It isn't a constant pain, but more like an ache type pain. Annoying. Called the Dr's office and they will see me on Monday, but just worried and wondering if this is just something that is common after a fill. I know everyone reacts differently to their fills. My sister didn't have this pain. So just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks.

Tammy

Haven't experienced this. Hope you went to have your doctor check it out and all is well. Let me know how you're doing.

just wondering what you found out at the Dr. How did it go?

Hi thanks for the concern. I saw him Monday afternoon, and he said that everything looks fine. He felt of the port area where I was having the pain and said it all felt as it should, and that I did the right thing by coming in. He said if the pain doesn't go away or gets worse to come in. He is very good about encouraging his patients to come in any time they feel like they need to. I am feeling fine, I was was never in too much pain, but what I was feeling was not normal for me, and like most of us here, we are new to all of this and our bodys are changing because of the surgery, so things will probably never feel like they used to.

Well I am glad everything is ok. I don't have my band yet. I am just beginning this Journey. I comb this forum daily, for all the info I can. Can't wait until the day comes. Again glad you are ok
