9 mos. out - strange pain - need advice

I need some input

I have been going back and forth wondering if I need a fill. Right when I think I do, I have this happen:

Last night, I ate some pulled BBQ pork. It went down fine, almost too easily.

Today, I had a few bites, and about 45 min. later I started having pretty bad stomach pain. I would describe it as the kind of pain and burning one might get from stress or even an ulcer.

This has happened maybe 3 times in the last few weeks, always randomly, always from eating something that I had easily eaten before.

This time it is going on about 6 hours, and although the pain is better, it's still pretty painful. Tums aren't doing a thing. I tried a creamy yogurt, thinking that might coat my stomach or something. No relief.

Here are my questions:

-Do bandsters sometimes just have random, nonsensical pain like this?

-If it doesn't happen regularly, should I worry?

I have no reflux, btw

-Could this be erosion or pouch dilation, ?

Being self pay, it is extremely difficult for me to just get an upper GI or a procedure like that. I called my doctor's office and asked about fluoro to check for dilation and was told the doc only uses fluoro if he can't find a port, NEVER to check for dilation.

I want to respect my band, but I don't want to be paranoid.

Can you all please give me some thoughts?

thank you so much~
