Please fill in your profile so we know you better and can better advise you? It's so hard to comment if we don't know when you were banded?

If you are in pain, I would suggest calling your doctor's office and let them determine if it's anything serious or not.

I know many people that get pain if they overeat (including myself) where it's like the nerve in my stoma going straight to my head and gives me a headache. But, I wouldn't want to assume you are having the same thing.

It's always best to check with your doctor when it comes to pain, because only they can determine if the cause is something not to worry about or not.

With that being said, the vagus nerve runs pretty close to our band and stomach and some times if something happens to hit that nerve it can cause odd pains and or dizziness. I get the dizziness whenever my band is messed with. So if I get a fill to fast I get dizzy and pass out, or if I get stuck I will get dizzy.

My doctor also told me that the tube that runs from the port to the band is lose in there and can float around so sometime that will hit a nerve or something in there and cause an odd pain. I had a lot of that the first few months post op, but now I am fine.

Thank you for your input.

I was banded in May 2012 I was at 6.3cc and they took .3 ccs out since i was throwing up. Now i am having shoulder pains and stomach problems. Feels like i am bloated took gas ex strips didn't help. They think its a slip Upper GI 2marrow to see if everything is ok. Hope all is well i adore my band

Thank you again for all your input

Only a doctor can know and so sorry you may have a slip. Vomiting can cause that so they may deflate you completely for a while?
