:crying:Hi All, I was wondering if anyone else had got this or heard about it. I have a fill the other day so I now have 3ml and I am quite restricted, some days are better than others......nothing new there then.

I did have a very stressful week recently and as usual turned to food, so this in turn made me sick everyday quite a few times a day until I got it back under control.

I am now left with a very odd pain, first it was in my jaw and I thought I had toothache, went to dentist all fine there, then it moved to my ear so checked Dr of ear infection all fine there, now if I eat to fast or gtry and drink a large mouthful of Water I get a really bad pain that travels from the band site up to my jaw then on to my ear and finally into my head, this keep coming until the food or water has passed through the band.

:thumbup:

I have talk to a Dr friend of mind and he seems to think is a a creanial nerve problem and the band fill has agrivated it, i am worried it is something else like a twisted band or I don't really know what.

Does anyone know anything about this?????:smile:

Hi:

I heard that there is a nerve that runs near your band that can cause shoulder pain when the esophogus is irritated. I've experienced this horrible shoulder into the jaw pain one time when I was stuck. It was so severe that they offered me a shot of morphine at the emergency room. I feel for you.

You may be too tight. Please call your doctor and explain what has been going on. Shortly after fills you can get swollen in there and this can cause irritation to that nasty nerve that shoots up your body. Don't forget, if you think you are too tight, stick with liquids until it passes or until you get a slight unfil.

Don't give up on your band. Take care of the immediate issue and then get right back on track. Try to find another way to deal with life's stresses. I use exercise to help me. Long, hot soaking baths work too. sugar free popsicles saved my life! Maybe a punching bag in the garage is what you need.

Best wishes for you to feel better soon.
