I have not been banded yet, but if your doc doesn't have a emergency number I say go to the Emergency room.....my first thought was low blood sugar but the pain?

Please don't wait go to the ER even if they are not familiar with the band they can still evaluate by doing tests and you will have peace of mind, worrying can make things worse.

Good luck, keep us posted and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I would have one of your daughters take you to the ER. At this stage in the game you shouldn't be feeling like this. Have you been getting your 64oz. of Water in? I really hope that you feel better.

You should call your doctor. The shakes--dizzy--you may be dehydrated, but you may have an infection. Any fever?

Thank you all for your concern. I feel better this morning. The swelling is gone I am not dizzy or anything else. I did go ahead and eat some of my dd isecream last night. maybe my sugar was low. but anyway I am better..
