I had my procedure almost a year ago this month; and I have not lost much weight at all. I had the surgery because I gained alot of weight after my Kidney Transplant. Now I am having side pain for two days now and don't know if my band has slipped or not. Can't find the answers anywhere to know what systoms to look for. Feels like a very bad cramp in my right side that will not go away and hurts when I get up and down. I have noticed after my band was placed that my appetite picked up two fold. Any advice will be most appreciated.:wink2:
