Help it hurts to eat and drink...

Hello,

I got my lap band done in Oct 2004 down in Mexico b/c it was cheapier.

I didn't experience any probelms, I got a fill in 2005 of 2 cc and that is pretty much all that I had done to my band.

I had a son in 2007 when thru my pregnancy fine, had a 7 lbs 6 oz baby boy in great health.

I just had my 2 child in Oct 2009. A little girl both my c-section.

I again when thru my pregnancy with the fill however, ever since I got the fill it took me over an hour to eat. Now it could be that I didn't chew my food to good or I drank to much, I would get stuck and sometimes I would make myself throw up just to releave the pain. I had a very hard time eating b/c 1 I had a 2 yrs old to chase around and it just took to long for me to eat. I'm happy to say I had a little girl 5 lbs 12.6 oz in Oct.

Ever since I had her, I'm having a hard time eating foods at first then it when to liquids as well. It would come and go, I do drink alot of soda which I think may be a problem. Last thru it got soo bad I when to the emergency room to get it unfilled. I did feel alot better right away and was able to chug a glass of water twice! So they let me go home, now it is Sun and I'm still having pain when I try to eat and drink. I have tried to eat mushy food, mash potatoes, ice cream, soup nothing seems to help. I'm wondering if some how my band has moved? or something. I was told by the Dr in Mexico that he was able to sew my band twice to my muscle...I know my mom had it down a month early than I and she hasn't had any problems with her's. I was just wondering if anyone has happen to.

I'm getting server pain around my band when I drink or eat, I can feel it go thur, and I even feel the pain when I don't eat or drink. I really haven't eating much nor drink alot since wed. I'm going to call the Dr 1st thing tomm and see what they have to say. I know something is wrong b/c Im in alot of pain. thanks for listening.

Wow I think you should consult a doctor here in the states and possible get it removed. I'm sure your not suppose to have the pain your having.

I do see a dr here in Mass down in Boston. So I'm thankful for that!

I am having the same thing, pain is sometimes really bad. Like a ice cream headache at the site where the band is tightened. i can eat to... It just hurts. I am making an appt after jan 1 to cost one time on deductable and count for the year. Keep me posted on what it is on your end and i will do the same. Yikes

Oh and I had my band in 06 and just this last year i have had problems. I was also back stitched by Rambaut and dont think i have slippage.
