I was banded back in December of 2009 and have had great success; down almost 75 pounds. However the past couple of weeks I have started to have some problems with some stomach pain. I thought I may be too tight with my fill (even though I was filled 4 weeks before the pain started) so my doctor removed 1.5cc's. However I was still having the pain; everytime I ate something, it went down fine but then came the pain. It felt like someone was squeezing my stomach. Other than that, I feel fine, it is just when I eat...and sometimes drink. I went back to the doctor and he said he thought I could be irritated or having spasms so he completely drained me. This was on Friday and I think I am getting better, but still have slight pain. Could I just be irritated or do you think the band could have slipped?
Hi all,
I was banded back in December of 2009 and have had great success; down almost 75 pounds. However the past couple of weeks I have started to have some problems with some stomach pain. I thought I may be too tight with my fill (even though I was filled 4 weeks before the pain started) so my doctor removed 1.5cc's. However I was still having the pain; everytime I ate something, it went down fine but then came the pain. It felt like someone was squeezing my stomach. Other than that, I feel fine, it is just when I eat...and sometimes drink. I went back to the doctor and he said he thought I could be irritated or having spasms so he completely drained me. This was on Friday and I think I am getting better, but still have slight pain. Could I just be irritated or do you think the band could have slipped?
Any sight, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
