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.:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
