Mellie, I don't think any lapbander would tell you this is usual healing.  As I said to you before your surgery, except for being a bit tired, I was back to usual after three days and never needed my pain meds.  Now I know everyone is different, including surgeons, but I know in my heart Dr. Moein would be concerned that it's not normal and look further.  Nessa's right about the gall bladder.  I had mine out years before my surgery just after a fast 40 pound weight loss (which, no surprise, I gained back).  Gall bladder attacks can range from mild discomfort to full blown throw you on the floor writhing in pain (me) attacks.  Please call you doc.

Being repetetive, but CALL. If your doctor doesn't listen, I'll refer you to mine. He's always listened to my complaints and never pushed them aside like that.

Let us know what you find out!

Mellie, sorry I'm late in replying, but I have to agree with everyone above.  In my personal experience, I didn't think it was my Gall Bladder cause my pain was mostly on the left under my breast bone.  Dr. McKenna told me that that's because my whole Gall Bladder was sick.  So, just call, it's always better to be safe then sorry!
