Hi there! I was banded the 13th and had a question about some pain I am having. My incisions are a bit sore but nothing that bad, The part that is killing me is a spot between my ribs. Is this where my band is located? It doesn't hurt all the time but I get sudden sharp shooting pain that takes my breath away and then it is gone. I have not been able to burp once since surgery and wondering if this is what it is? Did anyone else have this problem and did you find a way to help it???
