Hi all,new to this place and was looking for some advice for my girlfriend.She had a lap band installed last year and lost 13 stone.The only problem is that she now seems in constant pain with the main pressure on the left hand side of the stomach.She is having to dose herself up every day with painkillers just to get through the day and the docs seem to be at a loss to explain what it could be.Anyone got an idea hwhat it could b please?

Sorry Serpico, I have zero idea what that pain could be. Seems like if the pain is that intense, she should stay after her doctor to keep running tests until they find out what's going on.

Did they check to nake sure her band did not slip or her port didn't flip?

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what has happened but she goes back to the hospital this week for some sort of tests.Maybe the will give us some clearer picture of what is going on.

I would hope that she would get an MRI or something and if her band slipped get it fixed asap. I hope she is feeling better soon. Just be supportive and help her through this, she will be better soon.
