Hi, i swallowed a piece of hard candy i was sucking on. It was still pretty good circle size. It feels kind of stuck. I have no fill at the moment in my badn (thank god) But should i be worrying?? Will it eventually go thru? Or should i be contacting someone??

Hi, I have been experiencing pain under the left side bottom rib, maybe lil more toward center. It comes and goes, no ryme or reason, but is sharp. Sometime it even stays around for awhile. I went to liquids yesterday to see if i can get it to help, still waiting. Anyone else experience this pain??

keep posting friends, i will be flying from Germany stateside in June and would like to hear how all international flights went. I had a complete unfill and dont' think i will be filling again till after i get back in Aug.

Hi, i know we are not aloud to really use NSAIDS which Motrin is one. But sometimes Tylenol just does not cut the muscle ache pain i have. I am wondering if anyone occassionally uses Motrin and what dosage do you use? Any problems you have had?? Etc.

Keep your head up girl!!

wow, i totally had this happen to me 2 weeks ago. I had to get a complete unfill, and eat more often. Ill start getting a fill again in a lil bit. That 8 days where i was experiencing this scared the bee jeeezeus out of me. But my body seems to be regulating again and the episodes are not happening. Good luck, keep us posted!

Good luck, you can do it!!! Take one day at a time

wow, first time i have heard about esophogeal stacking?? is their signs of symptoms???

i am 9 mths out, i am also experiencin the left side pain. mine though feels like its on the last rib at the bottom. When i touch the rib itself it feels worse?? no ryme or reason sometimes its their sometimes its not. Whollly cow about the lady who postedwith a perforated esophogus. Talk about scary!

hey, Army wife here my husband is in Iraq he left november we have a 3 and half year old boy and im stationed overseas here in Germany right now. You can do this, i know its tough when they leave but you can DO THIS. This is my second deployment. You cam PM me if you need to talk, i am always willing to lend an ear.

hi green, glad your feeling better im also on prilosec. my problem is im freaking neauseas on and off thru out the day. did you also experience this?? I have had a complete unfil as of last monday. But feel like crap

wow, i am also no feeling so great. i have reflux now, my GP won't scope me wants to do 8 week treatment of Prilosec first. My band doc did i guess a barrium swallow(nasty bitter thin liquid then watch on screen??) He says my band is in perfect position and doesnt see a slip. But my major concerns are for the last 2 weeks i am nauseas on and off during the day. Last night i had body tremors for like 10 min. I also today seem to have pain in my left back shoulder and neck area. Im really miserable. I don't know if it has anything to do with the band but grrrrr right now it sucks. I am completely unfilled and am able to eat no problem LOL.. i hope you can get to feeling better. Heck i hope i feeel better here soon to. I just totally feel like crud. OHHH yea and my hands will get really cold for no apparent reason to. geesh im fallin apart.

lonedaisy-- my husband is deployed right now in Iraq. I am sooooo very not pregnant LOL.. Harold-i go back and see the doc on the 19th im not sure if i can get my results before then she said it takes about a week. Im eating pb toast before bed last night and at pb toast first thing this morning and didn't feel as rough. I am eatin more carbs now to, still hoping all will work out. i have a 3 1/2 yr old son, and it worries me grreatly to have this happen to me. thanks for posting everyone

no just got the blood draw taken yesterday. But i hadn't fasted i hope that won't cause i problem. i told the doc i was chuggin as much orange juice as possible. when she sent me to the lab. It scared me how bad i felt. I hear PB crackers are a great pick me up with OJ so tomorrow im gonna buy some. Im also gonna try a snack before bed, which i try to avoid because i worry about reflux, but im gonna try it tonight. Thanks

i was also filled to tight. went from 5 cc to 10 cc in my 14 cc band. went back dropped down to 9cc and ohh what a difference. restriction without being seriously uncomfortable.
