Hi

Just saying hello as I am new to the site. Sorry for presenting you with my problem on my first time on site.

I have been happily banded for 3 1/2 years. I have lost my weight steadily and altogether I have lost seven stone. I am still losing slowly and steadily (except for this week when I have lost four pounds in one week. This is likely because recently I have started to get quite severe pain after I eat or drink. Initially about a month ago the pain emerged only after I had eaten . Now it is painful 5 to ten minutes after I eat or drink

The pain lasts about half an hour then goes away. The pain is alongside the left of my naval around my waist - under my rib and up the back of my rib cage - under my arm and around my boob! :thumbup: :party: All on my left side.

I would be grateful to know if anyone else has had these symptoms and how they dealt with them.

Best wishes

Wow, if it was on your right side I would say get your gall bladder checked out...you need to see a professional, as soon as possible. Good luck.
