GM.. everyone. I received a fill on Jan 27th,2011, and on friday Jan 4th.. I noticed I was in a little pain. I thought that maybe it was gas, so i took gas x thinking that maybe air had got trapped in the band after the fill, but needless to say that didn't work.. It feels like my stomach is bloated and it feels like spams radiating back and forth.. I decided on Sat morning that maybe I needed to go to the er to just make sure everything was ok, since the pain was radiating and I couldn't tell if it was in my chest or my stomach.. Thankfully everything checked out great with my chest/heart, that's the first thing the er keyed in on. I was released and sent home.. nothing was checked on the band. Needless to say I'm still having the pain do you think it might be my band? has anyone else had this happend to them? I'm going to see the dr today at 3:15 so we'll see if it's the band..

This just happened to me also, I called my doctor and he perscribed an anti spasm drug. He told me it was just because I was too tight due to swelling. Hope it helps.

Wow. Thank you... did it stop with the anit spasm medication? so you didn't get a slight unfill.. we'll I'll see what he says this afternoon.. I think I'm at my sweet spot though.. Thanks.

Dr. took out the almost 3 cc that where in the band about 2 days before i had trouble, the medicine worked and I stopped taking it after 2 days. I am still having trouble keeping anything down or eating at all for that matter but I think it is due to me learning how to eat after being banded.

Thanks for your help.. Well I went to the dr on yesterday afternoon Monday.. He immediatley had me get a chest xray and stomach xray of the band. He told me that I had a lot of gas in my stomach and it was an enormous amount that he hadn't seen. So what he did was take out .2cc, he says that should help it and if it doesn't I will have to come back and he unfill me completely.. This is the first time this has happended to me,, I'm thinking maybe I was just a little to tight that nothing could move.. but I was able to eat, but just a small amount. I feel a lot better since he took out some though.. it's funny because I started burping and everything.. My stomach feels a whole lot better today.. Wow.. this band is something else.. Thanks.
