Help...band Feels Wierd/hurts...stuck?

Got another full about 2 weeks ago and have apps tomorrow and was gonna ask for unfill of this last fill chase I've been uncomfortable. Heartburn each night almost. Today after I had chicken for lunch around 1pm, and it felt uncomfortable, like I had too much. I probably did. Then a while later I had coffee and now about 2 hrs ago (like 5ish), I noticed the band was feeling really Wierd. Like super tight. And almost like hurting all the way thru to my back. (almost like a much lesser version of gallbladder attack pain if u have ever felt that) I can drink Water fine. When I swallow, feels like something in my throat (not when drinking, just swallowing)

Help....do I have something stuck? Have u felt this? Should I call dr or wait til appt tomorrow? Ugh I dunno what to do. I even feel a little dizzy...though that might be cause I got up early and I'm super tired and just did zumba (barely made it cause I felt so crappy)

I personally think you'll be ok until your appointment tomorrow, however I'm not a doctor, and if you are really uncomfortable and don't feel you can make it through the night then perhaps consider the ER.

Otherwise, I think you're very wise for going in for an unfill. Night heartburn is a major red flag for a band too tight. That is not something you want to mess with, so I applaud you for getting right on it and going back for an unfill so soon. I see way too many wait months and end up with complications because of it.

Best wishes, I'm sure you'll feel much better tomorrow after your appointment.

Hope it all works out! Let us know! :)

Yeah I agree I think you will be ok till tomm. Take some rolaids or antacids then call it a nite. You may be to tight. Good luck and take care!

Thanks guys...I had a little soup because my stomach was making hunger noises and that helped a bit. After I took my blood pressure pill, again horrible heartburn but some

Pepto and tums helped and now I'm finally going to sleep :( sigh...can't wait til I get a little unfilled tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what they say.

I have had a few occasions where I get a really weird dull/achy pain that seems centered right around my middle. It happens every couple months and only lasts for a little bit, but it is disconcerting.

I'm not sure if I should worry about gallbladder issues. After the last one, if it happens again I will schedule a Dr appointment.

update:

so i went yesterday and they took out 0.5cc and i'm on liquids for 2 days so the swelling can go down. i can go back in 2 weeks if i want 0.2cc fill to where i was before this last fill i had. i might just stay where i am though. we'll see.
