Pain and fullness after eating very little

Been banded for 2 years haven't had a fill since April 2012. Lately I have been able to eat more well a little but more often than 3 meals a day but I've been getting pain in upper part of stomach to the left actually and feeling full just after a couple of mouthfuls and running to the bathroom and getting rid if most of it. I haven't been exactly text book and don't just stick to the recommended cup full of food I tend to eat til I'm full if I ever over indulge I bring it back up. That's how it's been up until now... Anyone else have this problem ? Weight loss has been slow and steady just under 6 stones in nearly 2 years. Have fluctuated between 3 to 4 pounds but stayed same weight for a few months and ideally would like to lose another stone and a half to get to goal. It's just now I appear to not be able to eat very much at all unless its soup or chocolate slider foods I suppose.

I would definitely get into your doctor to have it checked. Not to worry you but you could have a slip. But the good part is, the sooner you catch it, the better chance of it being corrected without surgery.

Plus, being on slider foods isn't good for your weight loss either, in fact it could lead to gaining.

Best wishes to you. I'll be crossing my fingers everything is ok for you.

Call your doctor. In the meantime stop "bringing up" your food...eat less. Every time that happens you could be damaging your band or your stomach/esophagus.

Ok..Thanks for the advice, will call doctor tomorrow :)

I agree, call the doctor, keep us posted on what you find out!
