Fill 12-1, Is this normal?

kjhack · December 4, 2008

I had my first fill on 12-1, and my right side just below my ribcage is sore. Not really painful, but sore. I am able to eat and drink fine. I think it is where my band is. Drs office doesnt seem concerned. :cursing: Anyone had a bit of discomfort there after a fill? He put 3cc in a 10 cc band. Don't feel much restriction yet. Thanks for your advice. Kelli:teeth_smile:

I am a little sore after fills. My doctor's office numbs me so I don't feel the fill, but the next day it is a little uncomfortable.

I could be wrong but I think your band is center of your rib cage,to the right would be your gallbladder and liver.I had some

pain there once to and I noticed my gallbladder was kinda hard too,but it pasted.If it dont pass and gets more sore or painful I would ask my PC because many lose their Gallbladder after Lap Band.

I don't have a gallbladder anymore it's been gone for 3 years. Dont' think its related to that. I almost think that it is restriction. I don't have soreness or tenderness unless I eat something solid. My surgeon looked at it when I was in on Monday and didnt seem concerned at all. I have to go to my family doc this week for my annual. I am going to ask her to double check. Thanks for the responses. Kelli

It's all coincidental about losing your GB from the Lapband....another false tale for the insurance companies...hence not wanting to cover Lapbanders!! GB is common with actual gastric by-passers.

I'm not tending to shame anyone here except the insurance "IDIOTS" who aren't knowledged about the band!!

Anyways, I too am sore a day after fills...around my port area. I've had 3 diff people do my fills and it hasn't mattered.
