pain and discomfort after eating

lise · November 12, 2008

I have had my Lap Band for about 3 years now. Lately I have had a lot of pain after I eat. Usually in the evening. I am not eating more than I usually do, and the pain is located in the right side and goes up to my shoulder and around my rib cage. I will have a lot of burping with this pain. Has anyone had this experience?

I would call the doc ASAP just to check it out. I recently had a LOT of pain while trying to eat and ended up being extremely inflamed and needed a complete unfill. when in doubt have the doc check it out. Good luck!

I agree, call the doc. You may have a slip or an erosion and it need to be checked out.

Have you had your gallbladder removed already? If not you may want to have it checked, your symptoms mimick a gallbladder that is acting up. Check with your doc soon for evaluation. Best of luck to you.
