OK, I was banded on the 10-01-10 and have felt pretty great overall....except for one thing. The past 3 days I have had a terrible stitch in my left side! Not near any incision site, but in my ribs, like I've been running....only I havent been running. And sometimes there's 2, one about the middle of my ribs and the other lower. I can feel it if I breathe deep and when I'm walking around.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this and has any suggestions?:w00t:

I was banded on 10/7 and I felt the same way for 2 weeks. It's gone now, but my doc told me it probably was a stitch and occasionally people get them after surgery.

I had this..i havnt had this felling since running in gym in middle school!..lol..but its that same achy pain you get after you run...anyway, I had it for a few days after my 1st fill and had it again after my 2nd fill this week. its on my left side and seems far away from my port and band but the doctor said it could of been gas or just pain from the band that maybe felt like it was further over than it really was..who knows but it does go away and I didnt get concerned about it.

      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.
