So, I started over today with a fill, 3.6cc in a 10cc band. In August of last year, I had to be unfilled (9.7cc) due to extreme chest pain and a 2 night hospital stay. I'm apprehensive; my MD says not to worry; that the pain shouldn't happen again ~ he doesn't know what happened since my band is in good position. I gained 19 pounds since August and knew I had to get started again. I'm 30 pounds lighter than when I started my band journey in August of 2009; but all the original fears are whispering in my ear..........................................

Good luck on starting over! Did they ever figure out what caused the chest pain?

No, my visit to the first ER was quite....unsettling...and since I am an RN, it was that much more so... I didn't get to Dr. Jay's office until over 6 hours from the time they pain began and they gave me dilaudid of all meds prior to my husband taking me to Dr. Jay's office so I was very out of it. Dr. Jay admitted me, 2 CT scans, EGD and a protonix drip later; I was fine and haven't had a problem since.
