I have been banded for almost two years now and so far have had no complications but in the last few days I have felt a small pain on my left side almost like if I worked out to hard.

I am worried it may be my band. It's really only a minimal amount of pain like a sore muscle feeling. I am still able to eat and drink normally and the pain isn't constant. When I put pressure or lay on that side I feel fine so I am just worried.

I plan to call my doctors office tomorrow and try to go on a liquid diet for a few days to see if it is just an upset stomach but I am worried. Any advice for me besides calling?

Well I called my doctor and they said since I wasn't feeling well (caught a cold) and they checked me last month and nothing was wrong that I just need to go on liquid diet for a day or two then back on to mushies then to solids. If I don't feel good in a couple of days to give them a call back.

I think I will be okay since I haven't had any pain since going on liquids this morning. Just a lot of burping is all.

Are you coughing with your cold? You could have pulled a muscle when coughing. I hope you feel better soon! Sending healthy vibes your way!
