Anyone experience this?

First of all, I am terrified that my band slipped. I woke up yesterday morning about 5:00 am with a terrible pain in my chest/band area. It just lasted a second and stopped. Then I felt it again and it went away. I rolled over and went back to sleep. I can't typically drink until around 11:30 or so and yesterday I drank Water at 12:30. That was okay. Typically I have good restriction during the day and in the evening after I work out I can eat whatever I want if I take my time. My band just opens up at night for some reason. I have 4.2 cc's in a 9.75 cm band that is supposed to hold 4.0 cc's. I am also filled with omnipague which is thicker than saline because my band leaks if I get filled with regular saline. Lucky me! I was able to eat normally yesterday evening. Nothing seemed strange. I took a deep breath in this morning to see if I felt any soreness in my chest/band area. I would think there would be some soreness if my band slipped. It felt fine. At 11:30 today I tried drinking some iced tea and the first few sips seemed okay. Then a few minutes later I had this horrible stinging/burning sensation in the roof of my mouth and the back of my throat! I have never felt anything like that. I started burping up slime from the tea and I stood up. That helped a little. I spit out a bunch of slime and now it feels like the tea has probably gone through the band. The burning stopped. I got the hiccups. That has stopped now too. I would like to jump in my car and drive to the fill doctor to get a flouro, but he's three hours away. I was just wondering if anyone else ever experienced this? I hope I don't have a slip! I am on my second band. My first band did slip. I am assuming it was my fault for PB'ing too much. I wouldn't think that this band would slip while I was sleeping unless it slipped because it was just too tight on my stomach and it didn't want to hold. I would think that they wouldn't put a band on our stomach that would just move that easily. Who knows? I have to go back to my fill doc on the 27th for a partial unfill becuase I am having surgery on May 1st, but that still 3 weeks away. Anyone out there got an opinion?

Maybe you could call your doc with a description of your symptoms. It doesn't sound very good... but maybe you are just extra swollen for some reason.

I know I get really tight Pre-mens... have you had a recent fill?

Hugs!!!

I just had a fill about a week ago. I wonder if it's just decided to "kick in"? I didn't notice much of a difference right after the fill, but he only added .2 cc's, so I didn't think anything of it.
