Is this a new way of being too tight/stuck/full for me? The first few days I just thought I was sick, some sort of stomach bug. But then I started journaling the times and it's consistently 5-15 minutes after I eat, my back and sides get crampy/achy. I can feel pain around the band site, it's definitely band related. I called the dr, they're having me come in tomorrow, she thought it may be gallbladder related but I had that taken out in 97. I'm keeping everything down, no reflux, no sliming ect...Anyone have these symptoms? Please tell me it's just another way to get stuck/full. I'm hoping they send me for a scan, make sure everything is where it should be. Am I just not using my band correctly?
