I'm new to this site hoping to maybe find some answeres. I was banded about 2 years ago without any issues. I'm down about 70 lbs and for the most part am very happy! I keep having bouts with right side flank pain & my doctor has no answeres. My gallbladder was taken out about a year after my band was put in, and my append. was taken out 25 years ago. My band dr sent me to a kidney doctor & they found nothing. I know it is band related because the pain will start immediatly after i eat...if i vomit, the pain stops immediatly. This only happens about 4-5 days a month. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Thanks for the info.....
