Hey Trish,
Yes, I have experienced lots of different pains related to the band!!!
When I have pain all through my abdomen its usually gas. I'd never had an issue with gas before the band, so the first couple of times I had no idea what it was... Degas tabs help me out there.
I've also had pain around my port after a big of a hard slog at the gym. Especially when my person trainer has me on my stomach on a swiss ball, I find my port site is tender for a day or two after.
What does your pain feel like (other than painful...)? Is it sharp? Stabbing? Constant? Aching? And where is it? All over, centralised in one spot and if so where?
On another note, my god you are going so well with your weight loss! I am totally jealous

. You'll be able to tell that mother-in-law of yours to go jump very soon!!
