I was banded on Oct. 8th this year, and things have been wonderful...until this morning.

I had a carnation instant Breakfast, and within minutes I had severe stomach pain. I thought maybe I was becomming lactose intolerant because occasionally milk does make me sick. Well, around lunch time I grabbed a few grapes, which also brought on the pain. Then just Water, and that brought it on too. :cursing:

I need to drink, but it hurst so much I can't bring myself to do it. I have not had a fill at all yet, and my band is totally empty now. I've been going to the bathroom all day, so I know I'm not blocked. The pain is most severe immediately after trying to eat or drink something, but even when I'm not, it's still very tender.

I looked up symptoms of different band problems and nothing seems to fit. I'm not throwing up, and I haven't at all since the surgery. I'm not burping or spitting anything up at all.

Any ideas? I appreciate any help. thanks!

Call your doctor asap. You will become dehydrated and you need to find out what is going on. Good luck

I agree. Call your doctor. Sometimes I have pain if I eat or drink too fast. But because you had a similar pain later, I would call.
