Has anyone else experienced pain on the left side of your upper and lower abdomen? Its intermittent pain, but pain nonetheless that I've never experienced before. I'm thinking it's gas, as when I press on it the pain goes away, but quickly returns shortly after. I have been dealing with diarrhea the past 24 hrs, so could be that too, but not sure.

Hi... Ho fat out are you? I had really bad pain a few weeks after surgery and it was from premixed Protein shakes. Those have lactose in them and after surgery my tolerance of lactose became nonexistent.

Once I stopped that type of shake the pain stopped.

I will pay close attention to how my body reacts to my next morning (pre-made) shakes. Thanks for the advice.

But feels more like in large intestines. Could be colon spasm I heard.

Please let us know what the doctor says. I'm about 6 weeks out with getting my band and I also have left side stomach pain that comes and goes.and the pain is not bad most of the time but a few times it has became pretty strong. Just wandering what it could be.

I started taking stool softener daily, after 3 days, no more cramps. And BMs are normal again.

I was having the same issue. The way it feels to me is like if you were running and got what I call a stitch in your side. It doesn't happen as often as it did when I first had the surgery. Mine is usually when I am being active...walking around shopping, etc. I was thinking maybe gas also.
