Cheryl Ann 2 Posted April 19, 2008 I should start out by saying that my port is to the upper right of my belly button. Anyway, I have ongoing disomfort in my left side, which feels like when you've walked or run too much -- like "a stitch in the side" kind of feeling. I am 13 days out of surgery, and otherwise feeling good (albeit with some unusual food dreams at night). Has anyone experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godshelp 2 Posted April 19, 2008 Yes! Me right now. I'm about 11 days out and I still have that pain. Actually, I have allowed it to dictate how much walking I do being affraid that I might do harm. But I have been told to work up to the pain. I have my 2 week f/u on Wednesday and plan to discuss it with my surgeon. :cry_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lattedah 18 Posted April 19, 2008 Hi, Cheryl Ann and Godshelp. Congratulations to you both on getting banded!:cry_smile: I was banded on 3/12 and I also experienced an uncomfortable feeling on my left side, under my rib cage. It does feel like a catch and also sort of like an inflated ballon type of pressure under my rib cage. I've also been feeling bloated or tight after eating and I mentioned it to my surgeon. He said that I may be eating too fast. Not sure if this is anything like you're both experiencing. In the last week, I have not noticed this feeling much at all...so I think I may be turning another corner and that pain is dissappearing. I still get the full/tight feeling, but found out from my doctor's office that it's actually restriction I'm feeling. In fact, looks like I won't need a fill -- at least for now. Continued good luck to you both and I hope that you find this feeling passes for you both.:biggrin2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
