Pain on my left side

I have been banded for one year now. I have started having some pain on my left side, low, not near my port. I get side aches after I eat. I have had an ultrasound (showing nothing) and a CT scan last week (still awaiting results) and am supposed to be having a colonoscopy (it keeps getting rescheduled). I am uncomfortable all day (not miserable, I know the pain is there though...). It hurts when I go to the bathroom (#2) most. Has anyone else had this?

I had some pain a couple months ago on my left side. Very sharp pains in the middle of the night , could not lay on my left side for about 3 weeks. They did ultrasound as well, could not find anything. But, at the same time I was struggling with a slight overfill, I had gotten a fill which brought me to 9.0 cc in a 10 cc band. I was sliming about everyday, no vomiting, at this point. It was not improving. I looked at my food diary and made a few changes, did not help. So I asked for a tad unfill, he did remove .4cc , brought me back to 8.6 cc I have been fine PAin disappeared. I think the pressure on my port or the tubing shifted around internally and caused that strange pain. I may have eaten a little too much and caused that pressure I have no idea... I have not gained anything or lost anything in the last 8 weeks. I am about 10 lbs from goal, so It may be awhile before he will give me a nother fill in the amount of .2 cc. such a small amt, we will see. Good luck in finding that pain.
