So..every now and then i'll wake up and have stomach pains, located in my "upper stomach area"..im assuming where my band is. The pain normally goes away after I drink some water or eat something..but today its not..and its hurting more than ever!! I called my doctor and am waiting for them to call me back right now. I PRAY its not erosion..the idea of that happening scares the hell out of me! Has anyone else had this happen? And if so, what did you do?

I was banded back in September and have had about 4 fills since.

HELP!

Just a suggestion-

I am not banded so I wouldn't know for sure-

But, I just recently started having these pains in my upper stomach area that went away after eating and hurt at night- It was H. Pylori bacteria that causes all kinds of nastyness like ulcers and GERD and such. You might have that.

I hate to say the obvious, but I would contact my surgeon if I were a similar situation. That doesn't sound normal from from anything I've read, but I'm real early in my band-life to know.
