I have been banded for almost 2 years now and I haven't had a fill in over a year. Over the weekend, I woke up feeling sick to my stomach and in pain. Each day during the day it subsided, so I didn't make too much of it. The last two nights I've awakened from sleep and had pain in my chest. As it nears closer to the morning hours, it feels more like reflux, but when I first wake up, it really hurts. I was afraid it was my heart, but after doing some reading on here, I'm pretty sure it's my band. I don't know if it's slippage, dialation, or what. I called the docs office and they want to see me today, but they are over 2 hours away and it's not possible for me to leave work. Since I can't do that, they recommend I drive up to their ER after work today. They won't even wait until tomorrow to schedule an appointment for me. Does anyone have any ideas what this can be, and what I should do about it? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
