thank you for your response. It feels different from gas or reflux, like I actually thought I was having heart problems. is that normal? I mean not normal but common? it feels very painful for a few seconds then goes away. like I got hit in the chest with a sack of flour.

Hi! I have been reading the threads but cannot find an awswer to what I am experiencing. I starting feeling pain in my chest last night after eating popcorn(!) which i do all the time since it is one of the things that goes down. (banded one year ago) I am now hearing that is a no-no. Well when I woke up this morning after finally falling asleep last night the pain was still there! It is sharp pains in my chest, right between my breasts and has been going on all day. I went to Urgent Care and they ruled out any heart problems then I went to my Lap Band doctor and he took all the fluid out. The pain went away for a couple of hours but is now back. I am so frustrated. Has anyone been thru this? I have 2 little boys on my own so it is not really an option to go sit in the ER tonight and wait for an Upper GI like my doctor wants. I am thinking the swelling may go down and the pain will stop(?)
