Did My Band Slip

I was at work this morning, all of a sudden it felt like I was stabbed, then I pushed area with my finger & about leaped from my chair. Waited about 5 mins. I started to walk around & the pain was horrible. Started feeling nauseated & got acid reflux. My boss sent me.home now I'm in waiting room at lap band Dr & I'm a nervous wreck.

I'm glad you are were able to get to the doctor so quickly. They will have the answers for you I'm sure. I hope your pain goes away and your doctor informs you as to what is going on. Keep us informed!!

It will be okay. Kind of sounds like a slip to me or you are just way too tight. At least you got in to see your Dr quickly. My Dr will always see me right away if I think something is wrong or I am too tight. Good luck.

Hope you're ok. Keep us posted!

Definately keep us posted. Hope all is well.

Where on your body did you feel the stabbing pain? Your chest? Your upper/middle/lower abdomen?

This happened to me and it turned to be gas pain. Exactly the way you are describing it! I was in massive pain for about four hours and was about to drive the hour to my LB doc and decided to take a hot bath and some liquid pain medicine. It finally began to fade away. I thought for sure my band had slipped, it hurt so bad! Let us know how you are doing!!

Hope you are feeling better as that everything is ok with your band.

Scary!!! I hope you are ok!!
