Does anyone remember having any pressure on pain in the upper rib area months after surgery. I'm 11 months post and have been noticing this lately especially sitting. It's not chest pain but lower. Was wondering if it could be a stretched pouch or something.

Anyway if anyone else has dealt with this I'd appreciate it as I don't see my surgeon for another month. Thanks Nanook.:ohmy:

Is it in the left side right up under the bottom of your ribcage? Like in your stomach? Because I'm 10 months out and that's what I've been experiencing. Several months ago I had this same pain and the doctor said I wasn't cutting up my pills small enough and the pouch was irritated. So I started cutting them really small and the pain went away.

I had a fill and was way too tight and throwing up everything so got a partial unfill. Then I didn't have enough restriction so went in for a little bit of a fill. Not long after that fill I started having the pain again and along with it I have a feeling of something being in my throat all the time. I don't get stuck or throw up but I have great restriction so I'm completely frustrated by the pain and lump in the throat feeling.

I've got an appointment to have another partial unfill Friday. So I'll see if that helps. Maybe it's just because I'm too tight but I'm scared it's erosion or a slip or something.
