I was banded over two months ago and have had two fills and will have my third tomorrow, if all goes well. Over the last day, I've started having pain in my band area. It hurts to breath deeply and to hickup. I know I'll see my Dr. tomorrow, but I was wondering if this is common. I have been mostly pain free since the first week, except for when I sneezed.

I'm concerned that the jagged pill pieces are damaging my "drop zone", where the food goes from pouch to stomach. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Rob it could be a number of things, but since you are seeing the doctor tomorrow I wouldn't second guess anything at this point. Be sure to let him know exactly what you are feeling.

Good Luck and let us know what he tells you.

Harley,

Thanks. I'll keep you posted.
