I have been having this weird feeling under my left rib. It doesnt hurt but feels like a pressure and its against my rib. My port is down further from where this is at. Have you had this?

I get this a lot. My surgeon said it doesn't have anything to do with my band, not sure if I believe that because you aren't the first person I have read complaining about this. I had Mono as a teenager and he told me it was probably residual spleen pain from that (35 yrs ago) I never had this pain until I was banded 2 yrs ago. So I really think it has to do with the band, but no explanation or reason for it. Sorry I couldn't help with a reason, but at least you know you're not alone!

I had my band emptied two weeks ago due to extreme night reflux. My band had gotten TOO TIGHT due to STOMACH INFLAMMATION. I did not go liquid after the GooVomit over the years which may have contributed to this irritation.

ANyway, yes, I get GAS PAIN under my LEFT RIB now. I twist my left leg over the right, like the yoga stretch at the end of class and this seems to release the pressure. Or get on all fours like CAT-DOG. Standing helps, too. For me, it is trapped gas.

Good luck.
