I am 2 1/2 week out and started having alot of pain in my left side and back area. feels like a kidney problem, dull ache when I walk, sit, or stand. I feel great when I am lying down. I saw my Dr. and he said the band is attached near the back so he was not concerned. HAS ANYONE experienced that pain and how long will it last? Also I have not lost any weight in 6 days and am falling off the wagon alittle. I feel hungry and have eaten out twice. I have no restriction and can't wait until I get my first fill.

I am three months out, and get severe back pain when I overeat. It lasts a couple hours and really sucks. Might not be the same thing, but I thought I would throw it out threre...

I was banded on 3/12/09 and have that same problem. I had just chalked it up to sleeping wrong. I have seen other posts about this so now I am not so sure. Keep me posted if you find out something.
