aubrie 6 Posted January 2, 2008 I'm 6 weeks out from surgery. the last week or so, I started getting a pain up under my ribs about an hour after I eat dinner in the evenings only. It feels similar to being stuck, but I'm not stuck. It really feels like my band is extra tight. why would I be tight then? why an hour after I eat. When I eat dinner I don't feel like I've eaten to much. I don't have pressure or feel like I'm to full. but an hour later I'm miserable. I'm also getting a lot of gas at the same time. Sometimes this lasts for hours, others it's for about 30 minutes or so. But it happens EVERY night now, and it doesn't matter what I eat. I haven't PBd or vomited or slimed. It just hurts.

lachica39 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Aubrie, I'm new at this, but I would call my Dr. I don't know if more experienced banders would say this is "normal" but you should not be suffering. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I notice that I get that if I eat things that are not too mushy like meat mainly.Its like a lump under my ribcage w/ pressure. I think its when your stomach has to work extra hard. I drank warm liquid and that seemed to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
