Ever since I have gotten my band I have experienced pain where the band is placed. Is that normal or not? It hurts quite a bit. I was banded back in December 2009 and lost around 50 pounds in 7 months. I had my band drained in August 2010 and just got my band tightened back on Wednesday. My stomach is hurting just like the previous time..I have been able to eat and drink without throwing up. I am just tired of hurting. Any suggestions as to what to do? I would appreciate some support from fellow bandsters.
