  1. I'm going through the same exact problem. My hernia was caused by the band being over filled, and constant vomiting. I too can't eat much and am physically miserable. The DR. office said the next step would be to go look at the band under fluoroscopy to see if the port has flipped over and that's the reason why the dr. couldn't enter the port. Keep me informed on what happens to you and we can compare. You're not alone on this one. It suck to feel like crap when all you want to do is get healthy!
  2. Hi all! I was banded on 10/16. Things went well according to the doctor, but I can not get rid of the gas pain. I even spent an extra night in the hospital because of it. I am taking 4 "gas-x" pills a day to little or no help. My left shoulder feels like it was surgecially removed and sown back on. The worst part is the pain travels to my left ear and it feels like it will explode. Any advice? I also feel like I have been starving since a week after the surgery. I hate sugar free Jello so my diet is water/protein drink/and broth. Is it normal to feel like you are starving? Thanks All- Palangi
