Severe cramp above band

[BooKoo 32]

I was banded two years ago , due to complications I had my band unfilled . I've had two fills since with everything going fine untill about 5 weeks ago I bent over and I got a severe Charlie horse in my abdomen right above my band. It made My stomach swollen for a 5or 6 hrs just above the band,,,, I looked all swollen like when u come home from surgery . This has happend 3 times in a about 6-weeks. Has anyone had this ???

sounds like you needed to contact your surgeon after it happened the first time, i hope your band hasnt slipped....call right away and let me know what was wrong.

That's what I'm worried about. I'm waiting for them to call me back.

Hope that everything is okay. Praying for you.

Yes let us know what's up?

Also is it really a cramp?

The reason I ask is I get stomach muscle cramps all the time and they are a PIA.

It's obvious that it's muscle and nothing inside.

Anywho, keeping my fingers crossed, hope you're better soon.

My Dr is lacking the urgency that I'm needing. Lol. I don't know what it is. You know that feeling of your upper stomach when u over eat ? Well that upper part of my stomach locks down in what I feel is a cramp , but it's the whole width of my stomach , and it last for 3-4 minutes. I had one yesterday and the swelling is just now going down Very sore. I hope it's just lack of potassium I'm just guessing.

What is PIA ??

What is PIA ??

Sorry haven't been around.

PIA stands for pain in the @ss.

PITA is the same thing. :-)

How are you doing?

Hahaha, can't believe I didn't figure that one out. They finally got back with me 5 days later. They think it's cramping from me putting force from under the port. The said it doesn't happen much but it wasn't completely uncommon.
