Imabizebee 0 Posted October 25, 2011 I have a pain in my left side. It feels like if I went out and ran two miles and my muscles craps. What are the symptoms of a slipped band. What should I be looking for. I am still losing weight and can still eat and drink and have no problems. I was banded 5/6/11 and have lost 56 lbs and I workout alot so I don't know if I pulled a muscle or what. I am afraid I have hurt my band and I really don't want that. Hope someone can help me with this. Thank you all so much if you can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kara Renee 7 Posted October 25, 2011 Not sure whats going on but if i can help at all i would just say that even if it is just a pulled muscle i would call your doctor and have it checked out just incase. It never hurts to be safe. Sorry i couldnt help more. Kara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted October 25, 2011 If the pain is in your side i would think it is unlikely to be a slipped band, the pain from that would be felt higher up. It could be a pulled muscle, it could be a stitch from your port or................ As Kara say's the best way to get peace of mid is to talk to your Dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mantusmom 4 Posted October 25, 2011 I had this same problem about a week ago, only to find out it was GAS! It is very scary to have this pain and not understand why. See if you are eating anything that may give you gas. I am glad to say it passed in a day or so. I do hope that is only gas for you as well. Good luck I have a pain in my left side.

Butterfly Queen 111 3 Posted October 28, 2011 Please go see your doctor if you take a Gas X and nothing happens.Are you constipated at all? Sometimes thesmaller amount of Water we take in post op causes this.Also could it be gallstones from rapid weight loss perhaps?Anyway call the doctor if the gas meds don't work.

LaLa200 0 Posted November 20, 2011 I was banded a little over 1 month ago and I've been having the same pain. It first started in my lower right side. I thought it was my appendix the pain was so sudden and severe. My doctor said I may have tweeked a muscle while walking. Now, 2 days later, the pain traveled over to my left side. I've noticed that I'm a little more gassy than usual, but I can't imagine this much pain from just having gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
