I was banded on 5/29/14 and so far so good! Recently I have been getting pain in my left side under my ribcage. This is about the forth time getting this pain. The first time it was so bad I couldn't even move. I take my gas-x regularly! Has anyone else had this problem? Im always in fear of my band slipping even though i eat small and chew good. Please help!!

My port is right above my belly button which is why I haven't thought of it as port pain. The first time it happened I didn't even make it through my dinner and was in severe pain for a good two hours. I assumed it was just trapped gas because as soon as I got home and took my gas-x I felt relief. Like I said I am severely worried about slipping my band or a dilation. I am very cautious of how much I eat but I know sometimes old ways sink in and I eat too much. I just don't want this pain to be trying to tell me something and I'm just thinking gas. The pain is high on my left side right under my breast.
