I had the same pain, it felt like a side ache, like you get when you run. I looked it up online and one of the causes was dehydration... I drank as much water as possible and it helped quite a bit. So if it isn't gas it may be dehydration.
I had the same pains until just this past week. I was banded on the 30th of December.
It just seemed like one day they went away. Mine hurt to bend over, even when I was sitting at my desk. Hopefully yours will be the same way.
Hi Everyone,
I have been following this forum for a few months, there is so much useful information I am thankful I have found you all. My surgery date is Dec 30.... and I started my two week diet today, so far so good.
