Yes. This happens to me. I talked to my Dr. About and she said it is very normal and the band basically has a mind of its own. She said sometimes it will cause people to have some fluid removed.

It's been 2 1/2 years since I have been banded and over the past year I have noticed severe pain in/around my abdomen. I went to the Dr. And she said it couldn't be the lap band bc the band is actually very high up. Only concern would be if it was around my port but I have had no problems with my port. I told the Dr. I eat a lot of sugar free and diet things and she said that it could possibly be gas due to the ingredients in all of the sugar free stuff. So I completely cut out ALL sugar free things in my diet. I noticed it is not as bad but I still get the pain about once every 2 weeks or so. Has anybody ever experienced this??

I was banded on January 19, 2010 and have lost 85lbs so far. Yesterday while at work I got this burning/stuck feeling in the back of my throat. I had not had anything to eat in a couple of hrs. I got home tried eating dinner and the feeling made me nauseated and im pretty sure I threw up my dinner and lunch. I am still having the discomfort but it seems only when I try to eat now. Any suggestions?
