ok so I was banded July 16th and I have lost 70lbs and have had 5 fills...Im at 13cc's in a 14cc band...I threw up yesterday and since then I have been in excrutiating pain...In my chest it feels like a knife is stabbing me behind my breast bone...Do I wait it out or what should I do?

I would suggest that you call your doctor's office right away for the doctor on call (if that is an option). If you are in that much pain you might need to go to the ER. I wouldn't wait it out.

Please keep us posted.

Call your doctor!

Sounds like your band may have slipped. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!

i think you definitely see your doctor.

goodluck

Call your doc and try not going to the ER, they tend not to know what to do with banded people(the ER). Also keep us posted!

OK all....so I went to the Dr and they told me that I had a small tear in my esophogus and took out 5ccs...I had 13ccs in my 14cc band...I felt IMMEDIATE relief! I go back next week to get my 5 ccs back...they wanted my esophogus to heal and for food to easily move down!

Thank you for your help and advice!

Oh wow that's scary....glad you are feeling better and that you are able to heal quickly.

I am so glad you went to the doctors and found out what was going on, and that it all worked out for you. Thanks for giving us an update.
