No I don't eat before bed... At least an hour. And this is WAY worse than acid reflux. I have a high pain tolerance and it's enough to bring me to my knees crying.

That's on my list of possibilities. I hope it's something that simple.

Usually it's at night. I go to bed. Can't get comfortable (not cause anything hurts... Just toss n turn) then bam... Nausea and intense pain I have wracked my brain all day. The only thing I have noticed 2x now it's happened after taking cough med with codiene in it. They also shot me full of hydromorphine at the ER and I got really sick First time I have actually "thrown up" since being banded. (9/3/13)

Another trip to the ER with extreme stomach pain... No slip no erosion per CT (and EGD a month ago) WBC and LFT slightly elevated but not worrisome. I am so sick of this happening and no one can tell me why!! Ready to get the band out!

I eat just about anything I want... Except bread and soda. If I want steak I have learned to eat medium well, small bites and chew til my jaw falls off. If I want ice cream I only have a little bit (what I use to call a taste is now a serving) My band has been empty for a month now and I'm still down 8 pounds. Banded 8/3/13

I was banded 9/3 and have lost about 65 pounds. Working on the last 20. And they are fighting to hold on!!!

Yes. It has happened to me... Pre band life. Your body goes into starvation mode because your not eating enough. It holds onto every calorie you consume. As soon as you increase intake and your metabolism corrects.. The pounds drop. They aren't crazy.... It's science.

I haven't had an office fill. Just what was done when placed. There was no problem hitting the port or anything traumatic like that. He does barium swallows in the office and both times it has been fine. Calling tomorrow to see if they think I should come in or not. I guess if I only have a little added it wont be any worse than before they emptied it.

About a month ago my dr emptied my band (lots of issues... No known cause) well I think I need some juice put back in my band (haven't lost a pound since then). But, I am afraid to! Even though EGD showed nothing wrong I still have a burning in my chest/shoulder/upper back when I eat or drink. Not always.. But more often than not. And heartburn, holy cow call me dragon lady! I can light a fire a block away somedays. Other days I am perfectly fine. Agh. If I had a crystal ball life would be soooooo much easier!

And my band is empty... He did that after the second episode before the EGD

But did you have these symptoms at one specific time?? This only has happened at night about an hour after I go to bed. That's what's has dr scratching his head. Not related to eating or drinking. Just a horrible pain (relate it to kidney stone and a GB attack at once) an nausea. Omg I hate nausea. Never chucked. Just that oh boy here it comes feeling

Not in my stomach..... No back pain and no urinary symptoms. They have no idea what it causing it. Called doc. He wants me to come in Monday... Just started a new job. Can't. Will have to wait for Wed

It feels like a gall bladder attack... In my stomach (not abdomen). But had GB out 5-6 years ago Feel ok now... Little sore like I would expect to see a bruise there if it was over a muscle.

Thank you! Peaceful dreams.

No not going to be for a while. But if your headed that way it's ok. Once I get up. I'm up for a while.
