GM.. everyone. I received a fill on Jan 27th,2011, and on friday Jan 4th.. I noticed I was in a little pain. I thought that maybe it was gas, so i took gas x thinking that maybe air had got trapped in the band after the fill, but needless to say that didn't work.. It feels like my stomach is bloated and it feels like spams radiating back and forth.. I decided on Sat morning that maybe I needed to go to the er to just make sure everything was ok, since the pain was radiating and I couldn't tell if it was in my chest or my stomach.. Thankfully everything checked out great with my chest/heart, that's the first thing the er keyed in on. I was released and sent home.. nothing was checked on the band. Needless to say I'm still having the pain do you think it might be my band? has anyone else had this happend to them? I'm going to see the dr today at 3:15 so we'll see if it's the band..

This just happened to me also, I called my doctor and he perscribed an anti spasm drug. He told me it was just because I was too tight due to swelling. Hope it helps.

Dr. took out the almost 3 cc that where in the band about 2 days before i had trouble, the medicine worked and I stopped taking it after 2 days. I am still having trouble keeping anything down or eating at all for that matter but I think it is due to me learning how to eat after being banded.

Thanks for your help.. Well I went to the dr on yesterday afternoon Monday.. He immediatley had me get a chest xray and stomach xray of the band. He told me that I had a lot of gas in my stomach and it was an enormous amount that he hadn't seen. So what he did was take out .2cc, he says that should help it and if it doesn't I will have to come back and he unfill me completely.. This is the first time this has happended to me,, I'm thinking maybe I was just a little to tight that nothing could move.. but I was able to eat, but just a small amount. I feel a lot better since he took out some though.. it's funny because I started burping and everything.. My stomach feels a whole lot better today.. Wow.. this band is something else.. Thanks.:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
