Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Yes, this is normal since liver may be enlarged and during banding it may be irritated but also there may gallbladder stone so you should repeat ultrasound to rule this out and measure your liver size.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
