pain in lower left abdomen

[Terri-ific 0]

I am having the same pain, in the left side, that has been described! It hurts and I am sick in my stomach. (By the way, my port is on my right side) I haven't had a gallbladder for years, so I know it can't be a gallstone. I am several YEARS post-banding and this keeps happening off and on. I find it hard to believe that several of us have the same symptoms and all the docs can say is diverticuliutis(sp) Doesn't it seem like there would have to be some connection to the band?? Any input would be appreciated.:confused2:

Hello to everyone!

I have my surgery on March 11th 2008. I started to have pain

on the right side of my stomach. Went to the Dr. and he said it

was not related to the lap band surgery. He did my first fill and I

went home. Last week I went to ER I was in terrible pain, they did

a CT put found nothing. I went back to my Dr. for another fill &

we discussed the pain at length. He had me do an ultrsound today!

It could be gallstones!

Does anyone have pain that just comes on and it just gets worse?

I had my second fill and am at 5cc's. I have no energy!

I have lost 50lbs which is exciting but am so tried of this pain.

God Bless All Of You and may everything work out well.

I won't find out until next Tuesday.

Hi:

My Sister calls me SuzieQ sometimes.

I had pain on my right side and it ended up that I had gallstones. Had my gallbladder out in April. It's a pretty easy recovery, at least it was for me. My pain was intermittant with my gallstones.

Hope you feel better soon.

Sue
