  1. I was banded in 2010. I had all of my fluid removed from my band about 4 years ago. The last week or so I’ve been having some stomach issues. Cramping in lower stomach, pain behind shoulder blades, GERD symptoms. They thought it was my gulbladder but all checks out fine. I was having some pain right where my lap band is, kind of gassy pain. Now am feeling like I have a fill that is a bit too tight but I had no fill at all. I always get tighter around my period or when I have the flu but I’m so confused as to why I’m feeling this way and am worried it has slipped or eroded. My port sight is also tender. Someone help! I’m having major anxiety and I don’t have very many options for doctors around her that will take a patient banded it Mexico. Can severe anxiety or stress cause this or is something seriously wrong??
  2. Ok, thank you very much. Name of dr?
  3. Where at in AZ? Could you share the name of the dr please? I would be more than happy to travel there to have it done.
  4. I was banded 7 years ago in Mexico. I haven't used my band in probably 5 years and have it empty. I've been having port pain and some acid reflux. I just want it removed. Will any dr here in the US remove it for me if I had it done in Mexico?
  5. I don't have any meds for nausea. If it keeps up ot gets worse I will go to the dr. I just hope nothing is wrong. Thank you all very much :thumbup:
  6. Thank you :thumbup: Yea I just started mooshy/soft foods and thats when mine started. I am glad to hear yours went away. That gives me hope :scared2:
  7. Hi my name is Erica. It has been three weeks since my LAP-BAND® surgery. For the last three days I have been having sudden nausea accuring. It's mostly happening at night. I feel like I have to throw up and I have slight soreness to my stomach. Has anyone experienced this, or know what it would be from? Do I have anything to worry about? Erica
