Hey guys,

I was banded in Dec and just recently I have been getting these weird pains in my stomach that seems to go away with food. Now they don't feel like hunger pains so I'm really confused. They are more achy, in fact the first day that it happened I went to liquids because I thought food would make it worse. Does anybody have any ideas or similar experiences?

any clues?

Hi,

I am not banded, so I'm not sure what it could be. I know if I go too long without eating I get a real pain in my stomach and in my throat. It really hurts. The only way to make it go away is to eat something.

Not sure if this helped!

Generally I'll get normal hunger signals - an empty rumbling tummy, which if I ignore and get REALLY starving, then I can get pretty severe pain. My stomach kind of clenches like it were having a muscle spasm and the ache travels up my eosphagus and can feel it in the roof of my mouth and in my jaw as well as a tight stomach cramp.

It really hurts! Its not I'm a big hungry, I can ignore it pain, its very intense. Doesnt happen every time or even all that often, but its definitely hunger that brings it on.

huh weird. Maybe it is my bands way of saying that I'm hungry it is sooo wierd. It does in no way resemble what hunger pains were to me pre banding or even a month ago. Those pains were always sharp and this is really dull. I'll bring it up to my doctor, but I guess my hunger singals just changed.
