I just joined and saw your problem. I was banded in Sept 2005 about a year later i had excruciating pain in the left lower abdomen. I went to an internist, the gastroenterologist, had a colonoscopy, went to the gynocologist and my bariatric surgeon. She thought the port line was twisted. She did another laproscopic surgery. in fact the port cord was twisted. But 3 days later the pain began again until i had to be taken to the hospital. its my gastroenterologist who sent me there and i had emergency laproscopic surgery. The surgeon found nothing wrong in the abdomen or stomach. The pain came back. It was my family internist who figured out the it was proably scar tissue that developed in my abdominal wall ( in a muscle) which cant be seen during surgery or on scans and was pressing on a nerve. All I know is he put me on medication to relieve the stress and calm the muscles down. It has been under control since then. I hope you feel better.

anyone have this problem. Seems for the last 4 months no matter what I eat it gets stuck and i have to cough up the acid. the only thing that actually stays down is either yogurt or pretzel logs.Any suggestions? Thanks
