Sore back rib area

[kate85 6]

Been banded for 5 days now and I am experiencing pain in the back rib area on the left side. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if it is just from the gas.

It sounds like gas to me, but you can always call your doctor and confirm. Hope you feel better!

I was banded 4 days ago, and I have the same kind if pain. I was reading and the port is on that side and it can cause a little discomfort. I try not to move to that side when I sleep. Hope you feel better!

yes I had that also (and with a hernia repair too) it hurt to take a deep breath....keep moving, and if you do get overly concerned, as the other poster said, just call the dr and let them know ......congrats on your recent surgery....in 6 months, you will be on here telling people the same thing, that it does get better

I'm 13 days post opp. I think I've gotten rid of most of the gas, but my back has been hurting pretty bad for the past could of days. I was experiencing gas on the same sholder, but the front. I also noticed I've been tensing up around my shoulders. I think instead of putting pressure on my core, I've started to put pressure on my shoulders.
