CAN I GET MY LAP BAND PUT BACK IN - AGAIN?!

To the previous post, perhaps we shouldnt be so judgmental. I am a healthcare professional, 3 weeks post op, and having severe pain on the left side under my ribcage, and I posted a question about it. I simply wanted to know if this pain is normal after this surgery or if I should be concerned. We are all at different stages of this and we are all going through multiple emotions. Maybe instead of being so rude about peoples questions, we should be open, understanding and give decent feedback. Do i think this person should have another lap band? Absolutely not, perhaps look for different methods, but im not going to be rude about answering it.

It does seem strange, doesn't it? But a lot of people don't seem to have researched a whole lot before committing themselves to a life altering procedure, either. 

I'm always surprised at how many people have absolutely NO clue about human anatomy. The questions, "I had surgery last week and I have a pain in my left side. What could it be?!" blow me away.   I would think that before having surgery, a person would crack open a book, Google or something. It doesn't take much research to see that your stomach lies under the left ribcage area. And a port is under the skin, nowhere near the actual stomach. And the stomach is made of living tissue, prone to damage from a foreign object more than, say, a tooth or even a knee cap.
