Could some one help me please! I live 150 mile away from my surgeon and I don't know what to do. I had steak on friday night and since then I have had a throbbing pain just under my left bra cup area above the rib.

It gets worse when I move around, I have taken ibuprofen since friday and it is not easing at all. I have called my doctor and he is saying not to worry but I am finding this hard to do, I am worried that I have stretched my pouch or could I have infection as it is throbbing even more when I eat.

I have had bowel movement so it isn't that but I do feel a little light headed and have more restriction today, can someone help as I don't think there is a hospital in my area will have a clue what I mean.

It is almost like it is under my bra wire.

I am almost two weeks post op and I have the same pain where your is, right below my left breast and over my rib cage. I thought it was a gas bubble because I will take a deep and painful breath to move it but it does not go away. I only have it when I am standing up or sitting up. Sometimes I have to lean over to relieve the pain. I am scheduled to see my surgeon so I am surely going to bring this up to him.

Mine is worse when I breath as well, and it has been constent and throbbing for 3 days

I had similar pain after eating popcorn. It lasted a few days. I thought for sure something was wrong (paranoia seems to be my normal thing since the surgery in April). I emailed the doctor who said if it doesn't go away by the next fill, make sure to talk to the staff.

Can you email your doctor?

I have a lot of problems in that area too and have been told its just my port. (kinda wish they had of put it a little lower)

You may have irritated your tummy/band area. I myself have done it in the past. It's kind of like twisting your ankle...if you stand right back up and start running it continues to hurt like heck...give it day off and you are back to good as new. Give yourself a day or two on power shakes and mushies and let your tummy settle down. If you eat anything solid make sure you chew chew chew to a mush. Good luck!

Thanks everyone I seem to panic over every pain, but it is worrying isn't it. I am going to take it easy for a few days.

How are you feeling?

My GP gave me a course of antibiotics incase in was infection and it has felt a lot better, I don't know weather it has been my port it seems to be sticking out a lot more, don't know if thats of the weight loss.
