scorrea 95 Posted July 3, 2012 I have this pain below my left ribcage and thru my back. Could it be just gas again? could it be something worse like a slip? I was banded on June 19th. I saw dr today but it really wasnt bothering me then. Now it is and I am getting nervous. I am not having any trouble eating or drinking either. Am I just worrying? I appreciate any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen_1381 446 Posted July 3, 2012 It's usually normal. Sometimes the band can irritate your vagal nerve and cause pain. I had that post op for about two weeks, and it came back with my fill for 3 days. Also - I had air pain post op for two weeks or so. It's not abnormal to retain the air for a while.
