I was banded in July 2009. I've got 6cc in a 10.5 band. About a month ago I had a 1cc fill and the first 2 weeks were great. But, two weeks ago, after eating a spinach salad at a friends house, I've had terrible acid reflux, heartburn, pressure like a brick sitting on my chest for the past two weeks. I was on mainly liquids and smashed/mashed. However, three days ago I felt wonderful - so I tried to eat a 1" x 1" piece of baked chicken. I had about 1/8 cup of very soft green Beans and almost instantly I had PAIND and acid reflux. I have put myself back on liquids and can only sip on these liquids because sometimes they come up.

My surgeon doesnt have office hours on Fridays, so I'm waiting til Monday in the hopes that something gives.

I'd love to hear from anyone else with the same symptoms and what it might be... band slippage, restriction, food stuck, hernia, ???

Orobably just a little overfilled....sometimes even .5 or less out will fix everything. Stay on liquids and mushies for the weekend to let your stomach swelling to settle down.

Good luck,

Mimi

I have a similar issue- banded Nov 2009, 1st fill last month, 2 cc's then i started noticing i was feeling sick often and the past week i really cant get anything in. I had 2 munchkins< YES I know, freaking munchkins!! but 2 munchkins and I was in incredible pain and vomiting, pain in my stomach and up into my left shoulder, stayed for hours, even after vomiting the 2 stupid munchkins. It has happened repeatedly, just about everything I eat- a 2 oz Protein bar, I can only get half of before i feel sick:-( This sucks!! I have an appointment on Tuesday, so upset and afraid that its going to be band slipped or something.

Staying on liquids for the next few days until my appointment, let me know how your appointment goes_ thanks
