I am having pain in rib area when i bend, stretch, or lean. It didn't star until i started mushies. Im scared there is something wrong with the port. Can someone please tell me is something wrong?

It's probably that your port area is still tender. I was banded April 16th and mine is still a little tender too. If you don't think it's that, I had sharp stabbing pains in my side when I leaned a certain way. It ended up being gas.

You're probably just healing, and it's that, or gas. However...if it is still bothering you on Monday, call your surgeon and check to be sure!

I was banded on April 17th, and had no pain the first week, but all of the sudden in the 2nd week, sharp stabbing pains on side when standing, sitting, or moving too fast. Just have to sit still for a while and allow total healing. I'm told 4 to 6 weeks for that, and even 6 months down the road, can have an occasional pain. Make sure to drink your protein shakes and take your chewables so that your body has enough energy to heal.

Thanks guys. The thing is I was pain free until i started mushies and joined the gym.The doctor told me no restrictions at the gym and now feels like something under my ribs(painful). Can somebody tell me what it feel like to be stuck or have stretched band? Scared going to get first fill 5/12/09. I started back on liquids just in case the swellen came back
