Was banded December 2009 but finally filled for the first time 2.5 weeks ago.
I vomited a lot on Monday and again on Friday. Now I can eat just about anything, I don't feel restriction anymore, just this dull pain between my port and belly button that become a sharp pain when I eat.
Something doesn't feel right. I don't have insurance coverage that will pay for anything regarding removal, revision,etc. I'm scared to death now and not sure what to do.
I know that the surgeon stitched the band to my stomach. Maybe a stitch just popped or something? So scared! Please help!
Thank you
