hello everyone, im hoping you can help me. ive been banded for almost 2 years and never had any issues. ive had 4 fills one in december '08 and this past march '09 pain started in my left side. i went to my doctor and they performed a endoscopy and found nothing wrong so they sent me on my way. so i thought it could be from working out since i go 5 times a week and started seeing a trainer. so months went by and i dealt with the pain finally in june i went to my physician who took tests and cat scans and found nothing and then sent me to a stomach dr who also found nothing. i cant live like this anymore i am walking hunched over and am always taking pain killers at this point, its just so uncomfortable. can it be that the band got to tight? can that be the result since nothing else is wrong? im going tomorrow to get an unfill because a nurse advised me to do that but i need to figure this out its costing so much money in dr bills at this point. also i have been tighter i cant really eat chicken or meat anymore and even struggle with Water in the morning. but i dont understand, can that really be the problem and the uncomfortable pain im feeling?

thanks!!

What did you find out?

i found out that i was too tight! all this pain and finally the surgeon saw me and took out some fluid. i feel amazing today!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!
