Hi Everyone,
My name is Missy and I was banded one year ago. I found out I was pregnant about 6 weeks ago and i had my band unfilled. I am about 9 weeks pregnant and for the last three days I have had some pretty bad chest pain in my left side. Under my breast, my ribcage, above my heart and even up into my shoulder and my back. It is worst when I take a deep breath. Like a sharp stab. Do you think this could be heartburn? I have never been pregnant and I am fearful the band may cause me additional problems. This pain reminds me a little of the nerve pain I had in my shoulder after surgery. Also, I have had some soda this week to ease my nausea. I thought it would be okay since my band is empty. Maybe that is causing this? Anyone who may have experienced this, or similar chest pain, do you have any advice? Please?
