Hi Everyone,

OK here is the situation, I was banded 4 1/2 weeks ago beginning of April. Everything seems to be going ok, but lately I have been having an aching pain in my lower ride side. (across from where my hip is) I don't think it is my appendix (because I can eat and I am not throwing up) I will call the doctor this week but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this pain. could it be gas? It hurts when I walk, and feels much better when I sit down. The pain comes and goes. I have moved to solid food this week so could that be it? Thanks so much!!:tt1:

Miamipeaches - definately call your doc to play it safe. I can't say I've ever felt that type of pain...but it's always better safe than sorry. Definately call ok?

call your doctor!! When my appendix went I never had any nausea at all. Just dull constant pain that occasionally got worse for a while then subsided again to the dull pain. After 3 days I went to the Dr who put me in the hospital. A day later I was in surgery to get it removed. The surgeon said If I had of waited one more day it would have ruptured and would have MUCH worse.

Better safe then sorry.

Miami, You do need to call the doctor, but I had the same pain and it turned out to be internal stitches healing where he had cut muscle. My pain would only hurt if I laid on my left side or used that muscle group. But call the doc.
