I noticed I started having heartburn at night especially, and I could only eat a couple bites of food. I now realize I was too tight then, but mine kinda happened all of a sudden. I got some fluid taken out about a week before, and one morning I woke up, and it hurt to drink or even swallow my own saliva. This was on a Thursday, and I thought it would go away, but when I couldn't sleep that night I knew something was up. I went to the doctor on Friday, and he took all my fluid out. Had a fluro the next week and it had prolapsed. It didn't get better over the year so I decided to get it fixed in March.

I forgot to mention this, but when food or liquids pass through the band, it makes a funny noise like my stomach is burping or something.

That is what I was thinking as well. I think I might wait until next week to see how it's going.

I received on Tuesday my second fill after my revision surgery. My doctor did put about 3-4 cc in during surgery, and I got 1 cc last month and 1 cc Tuesday. I can just about feel everything pass through the band. It isn't that uncomfortable unless I take too big of a gulp or too big of a bite. Is this normal or should I get some taken out? I'm paranoid since I did have a slipped band before.

I had my band repositioned on March 8, and ever since then I have bad cramps. Just miserable almost all the time. It didn't do this the first go around so I don't know what is up. I had my gallbladder scanned last week, but I have yet to hear from them about that. I thought it might be constipation or something, but I take a stool softener almost every day which helps me go to the bathroom. Anyone else have cramps a lot of the times? I have tried gas x to no avail.

I'm sorry you lost your friend (if that is even true), but I seriously doubt her band exploded. What can one eat that could make the band explode? I've eaten just about anything with my band. This post seems fishy to me.

I've never understood the 30 before eating rule. My doctor doesn't make us do that. If liquid goes right through the band what is the big deal? Asking because I don't know a real good answer.

I get the same thing from time to time but mine is on my left side. It feels like a runners cramp. I think mine comes when I eat a little too much.

My doctor said two days liquids and then two days mushies. I had my fill on Wednesday so I stuck to liquids the rest of that day and then yesterday. I even wanted until today to eat some pintos and cheese from Taco Bell. I suppose I will do a baked potato for supper.

Right at 4 weeks post op, and then every 4-5 weeks after that.

The nurse who helps my doctor said 1 cup of food per meal. She said even if you can eat more than that don't.

I do have a scan set up for Monday morning. It is not terrible pain. It is more like a dull aching get on your nerves type pain. It is kinda of hard to explain. I hope we find out what is going on. Maybe it is just my back acting up since I have to tug and lift heavier items everyday.

I bought some fiber gummies, and took the two a day like they suggested. It doesn't do anything for me.

I've never heard of constipation being a sign of a slip. Heartburn, reflux, pain when eating/drinking is all I have ever heard about. I have constipation as well. I will take some pills (I think they are a stool softener of some kind), and the next morning, I am good to go.

Forgot to mention. Lately the pain is like a cramping underneath my right breast bone area, and goes into my upper back on the right side.
