Please help...slipped band?!?

[MissMom24 2]

Can you feel if your band has slipped? I am having a sharp pain next to my port and a little above...directly below my sternum. I am also having heartburn. My lower half of my abdomen feels crampy. I can feel something that reminds me of my port directly below the sternum area, it is firm like the port.

I am able to get food down and keep it down. I am not refluxing or anything. I have not PB'd or slimed in awhile.

I am concerned that it could have slipped. I have drank hot liquids and am not feeling better...

If I still feel this way tomorrow, I will call my doc, unless you think it is necessary tonight?!?

I am curious as to various issues regarding complications too. I have been having pains that come and go quickly near the center of my breastbone and also have pain near my port after I eat. I am also somewhat restricted even though I am unfilled. I see the PA at my surgeon's office tomorrow. I just hope I can figure it out as I spent the weekend in the hospital so rule out the heart which was not fun and a waste of time! Let me know if you find out anything and good luck to you, Nancy.:thumbdown:

Also the PA at the hospital said you don't have to have feel the acid come up to your throat to have acid damage done to your esophagus. He also mentioned hiatal hernia. So who the heck knows.

Jack: Unfortunately, no. My mom just had her gall bladder out today, my in-laws are in Palm Springs on vacation and my husband is working and is having major surgery next Tuesday to remove 18-20 inches of his colon. He is working so much this week because he is comission only.

This couldn't happen at a worse time...I do feel a tad better than I did awhile ago, I think I will call my surgeon in the morning, just to be on the safe side.
