  1. I'm pretty convinced it has slipped. Everything was normal last week.i was up throughout the night with a constant burning sensation in my upper abdomen and reflux. The weirdest part is I feel food getting stuck much lower in my stomach. Usually I feel it at the top. If that makes sense
  2. Today has been really bad. I can't even keep smoothies down. This has never happened before
  3. So I was banded about 7 years ago. I haven't been filled in probably 5 or 6 years and haven't had any problems with my band until now. My band barely lets me eat anything, everything gets stuck. I hate to say it but Im starting to throw up a lot. I get a burning sensation in my stomach sometimes when I eat. The new thing that started about a week ago is acid reflux at night with a lot of gurgling and discomfort. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and lasts a few hours. I take tums but that doesn't work. I also wake up to a slight cough and random hiccups. My port area isn't sore. I don't know what's going on and can't get into the doctor until Tuesday. Has anyone else had this problem years after being banded?
  4. So I was banded two years ago and I've never experienced any problems until now. For the past two days I've been in horrible pain. I get these sharp pains in my stomach and I'm also very constipated. I've had trouble going to the bathroom the past couple of days. I don't know if it was something I ate or maybe I'm dehydrated but it really bothers me. Anyone else go through similar problems? Any ideas on what it might be?
