Ok, I am just looking for some suggestions, opinions, ideas, whatever...

I was banded about a year and a half ago, have done well with it, lost about 110 pounds:-)

Had my last adjustment in Feb. added about 1 cc to bring the total in my band to only about 2.5 ccs, did fine with the adjustment

About a month ago I started tolerating less and less and vomiting at least once a day. I also noticed I was having random sharp pain on my R side. It comes and goes.

I've already had my gallbladder removed but that is the same place Im having pain.

I am able to eat, not getting that chest pain or stuck feeling but a few minutes later I get very nausous and vomit.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on tuesday, I just feel a little stupid going to him for a problem that comes and goes. I feel great as long as i dont eat.

Again, just looking for opinions, suggestions, your experience, I cant see how it could be a band issue if im having pain on my R side

Just a thought: When you say you vomit, is it coming from below the band or from the pouch? If it's from the pouch you may have a hiatal hernia, or maybe some kind of ulcer in your pouch area that gets irritated when you eat. Your surgeon will be better able to diagnose such a thing, but it sure sounds like a physical problem, not what or how you're eating.

Good luck!

Hi Dave!

I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired when i got my band. I guess its comng from the pouch, never actually paid attention before. I know its not the same feeling as when I had eaten too much or too fast- I really am not looking forward to going to my dr., dont want to find out that theres something wrong;-(
