I am having a sharp pain under my left rib cage... it only hurts when I breath - lol. Seriously though, breathing hurts and certain ways I move hurt too. What do you think? Call the doctor or wait it out?

Hey Beth!!!! I've been laying low on this board because I'm not officially a year out but wanted to say that sometimes when I feel super hungry I get the same pain! It can be very uncomfortable. I would also say to call (I was just there to see Dr. Boe for a fill) if it would give you peace of mind.

Thanks Marla - I am hungry that is for sure but I don't like to eat before I exercise and that is what I am in the middle of right now. I just took the dog for her walk and now I am getting ready to do my 3 miles run... might have to do a two mile run... I'll see how I feel. If it doesn't go away I will call Dr. Boe's office in the morning - do you have the number? And I think you are close enough to a year out - it's only a week away. How did your fill go? I still am hanging on to the last fill I had - was that in September or October with you? I also still have great restriction - so much that sometimes I wish I were a little more loose so that I could eat more BUT that is why I have this band... to eat less. Still working through the mental things and I am sure I always will.

How long has it been happening? And if I were asking the question, you would tell me to call the doc, wouldn't you?

hanging head down... yes, I am the first one to tell you to call the doctor. It is not constant but when it comes it stabs me and takes my breath away. I just ran 2 miles and nothing - nada - zip - zilch... no pain. Should I wait or call?

I would call and explain your symptoms. Your doc can tell you if there is any reason for concern. There is no harm in calling. Take care...

You are absolutely right - I will call in the morning and see what he thinks. Thanks Nancy! I haven't had a pain like this and with all the weird things happening lately - band snapping shut when I ate ice cream the other night and then the pb. I had another PB yesterday at lunch - just not being careful. And then someone was talking about erosion - probably that LeAnn or Cookie Monster got to me - I start to doubt my band and erosion and all of that. I think if it can happen to Bridget and Deb than it can happen to anyone!

You may have pulled something but call your doctor - I am no medical expert...
