Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of multiple surgeries for lap band, its complications, hernia and all .
And now you have sharp severe pain in the right lower abdomen.
Te most probable reason for such a sharp pain which comes and go is intestinal obstruction.
I would advise you the following:
Get X-ray of the abdomen in the standing position, Ultrasonography and relevant blood, urine and stool tests.
These Will help to get a proper diagnosis and a plan for appropriate treatment, either conservative or surgical.
