I was banded on 6/29/10 and I am having this pain mostly on my left side just under my rib cage. also it feels like something is stuck...i have my self kinda freaked out that something is wrong. has anyone else had this?? i have only been consuming Clear Liquids (water, propel, sf popsicles, sf Jello and Protein shakes) I did stop taking my liquid loratab b/c it was making me way to sleepy and i couldnt take care of my kids.

It's most likely just gas. It builds under/ around your rib cage and into your stomach. Mine was in my chest like someone was sitting on me and my sister was in her shoulder. I wouldn't freak out yet. If it gets worse, lasts a few more days or changes, have it checked...but don't freak out ...I'd venture to say its just gas pains

I was sore for quite a while where they had stitched the band into my stomach and around my port site. Give yourself a little time to heal - you did have pretty major surgery a few days ago. I felt fine within myself a couple of days post op but I over did it a few times and left myself in a little pain because I over estimated my healing powers - was about 3 weeks before I was truly fighting fit.

Good luck.

I'm feeling a bit better now, but yes I have been probably over doing it a bit too. Friday when I posted, I felt like hell and had to sit through 4 hours of class, Saturday I felt better and then today, I had to take my pain meds and take a nap, I was wore out! I just have to male myself take it easy! I am sooo ready to start working out so I can start dropping the lbs!! Thank you for your replies, it def helped me not freak out too much :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
