Someone please help because I don't know what to do. I had
my band done on may 24. Everything went great. Better than
expected. Then on Friday I started getting a pain in my stomach.
Nothing alarming at first just kind of annoying. The only way I
can describe it is it feels like I am really realy hungry and my
stomach needs to growl but it won't. It was not bad at first because
I knew I was not. Long story short I got really sick on Saturday and
Sunday. Called my doctor. We had me come in one today. He let 3 cc
out of my band. Had one clue that I had anything in my band. So
now he says it completely empty. So now the pain is worse. I have
tried everything..... I have tried not eating.... Eating.... Mints. Eating
or drinking seems to relieve it for about 30 minutes and then it
comes back full force. Anybody else felt this? Does it ever stop?
What do I do?
