anyone ever had ?

Hello! Has anyone still expercinced pain in their sides after having the lap band a month out? its not sharp pain just that ole dull aching pain! thanks

Hi I wanted to welcome you to the VA Board and say I cant help w/ your question as I had Gastric Bypass. But maybe if you can give some more information about yourself there will be others on here why have had Lap Band that can help you w/ your symptoms. Like how long ago was  your surgery what your doing  for exercise eating, etc. Just post and someone will help you out.

I think Bonney had a lapband done...have you PM'd her? She is ttobehealthyagn.

I tried that Boney person at the email you gave but the site said their was no acct for that person! thank anyhow

Oopps...sorry...it's tobehealthyagn

Actually I have not had lap band done but sometimes when you think some pain has gone it can come back later and bother you while you are in the healing process ......especially a dull aching one - you are not very far out there so perhaps you have strained something or done some activity you shouldn't have. - many times is it just plain old gas and you need to walk a lot to get rid of it .......... in the case of gas, you might want to watch how much air you are gulping in when you talk or when you drink liquid.... of course we are not doctors so you really should call their office and talk with them about it........... Hope this helps Jackie

Hi and welcome to the VA boards, I haven't had lapband either. Ann..CWMOM had lapband too. Maybe PM her too? Wishing you all the best in your journey!
