OK so I got a fill about 3 weeks ago. And in the last week I started to notice I was getting tighter. Then this weekend I was having pain, which I thought was reflux and by Saturday night could not sallow Water. I have 2 ccs taken out Sunday and I could drink, but with pain. Today I'm still having pain when drinking water. My Dr thinks it still just reflux and I have need taking acid reducers but they do not seem to help.

So anyone know a cure for the pain? Anything I can take? I'm guessing I'm sore/raw from being closed and I need to heal, but getting liquid down is hard with the pain! If I'm not drinking I'm fine, so the Dr does not think a slip has occurred, also because I can drink, it just hurts.

Did your doctor check your band under flouro?(sp)

I just got the lecture of a lifetime any vomiting or signs of being too tight are sign of a slip or potential slip. Reflux is a major sign of being too tight and you should not have any pain.

Call your practice and ask for an upper GI to evaluate for a slip....pain is a symptom that shouldn't be ignored or treated lightly. Good luck.
