2 months out and starting to have pain

[MustLuvLhasa's 0]

I am a little over 2 months into the band and everything has been going really well. I've lost about 35 lbs and will have my 2nd fill on Dec 10th. For the past 3 days I've had this pain on my left side only. Kinda feels like its under my rib cage and hurts when I take in deep breaths. Not sure if its my port its on the same side but lower. Has anyone experienced this? Didn't know if I should contact my doctor but its not getting better and hurts a little more each day. My drinking and eating is fine. Any ideas on what this could be is appreciated.

I think you should call your doctor. That is really the only way to know for sure what is going on. That is what they are are there for. I hope you feel better soon.

I would definitely call your doctor right away as well, especially since you feel it under your rib cage which is not really that far away from the band. It is also a holiday week if you are in the US so it is bette to call today then to wait until next Monday.

How has your eating been since your last fill?? Have you gotten stuck at all or had an vomiting or pb episodes?

Thanks Slim-n-tn and Heather O for responded I'm taking your advice and have a call into my doctor now. My eating has been fine since my last fill on the Nov 3rd and actually the entire time I've had the band. I am really carefull about chewing and eating slow and I've yet to throw anything up or slime, Thank Goodness. That is why this pain is really weird and out of no where. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. I was sore after the surgery but this feels different, really sharp when I inhale hurts the most and when I walk around.
