I am 6 weeks post op - no adjustments yet. I have pretty bad pain in my lower left ab (right to the left of my belly button). Had pain x6 days. Diarrehea on & off x6 days. I can't seem to press a certain place to find the pain, but definitely feel it if I twist my waist, walk or try to lift anything. Went to my regular doctor & he's talking about possible diverticulitis. Gave me 2 antibiotics: Cipro, Phalgum (sp?) & anti-spasm med: Librex. 48 hours later & pain is still there. Don't know if I should follow up with a gastro guy (like my reg MD suggests) or see the lapband surgeon. Anyone else experience this?

Hello to everyone!

I have my surgery on March 11th 2008. I started to have pain

on the right side of my stomach. Went to the Dr. and he said it

was not related to the lap band surgery. He did my first fill and I

went home. Last week I went to ER I was in terrible pain, they did

a CT put found nothing. I went back to my Dr. for another fill &

we discussed the pain at length. He had me do an ultrsound today!

It could be gallstones!

Does anyone have pain that just comes on and it just gets worse?

I had my second fill and am at 5cc's. I have no energy!

I have lost 50lbs which is exciting but am so tried of this pain.

God Bless All Of You and may everything work out well.

I won't find out until next Tuesday.

Hi:

My Sister calls me SuzieQ sometimes.

I had pain on my right side and it ended up that I had gallstones. Had my gallbladder out in April. It's a pretty easy recovery, at least it was for me. My pain was intermittant with my gallstones.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sue
