Please Help, Something Is Not Right With My Lap Band!

[withtheband 0]

Was banded December 2009 but finally filled for the first time 2.5 weeks ago.

I vomited a lot on Monday and again on Friday. Now I can eat just about anything, I don't feel restriction anymore, just this dull pain between my port and belly button that become a sharp pain when I eat.

Something doesn't feel right. I don't have insurance coverage that will pay for anything regarding removal, revision,etc. I'm scared to death now and not sure what to do.

I know that the surgeon stitched the band to my stomach. Maybe a stitch just popped or something? So scared! Please help!

Thank you

I know you're really freaked out, and it doesn't seem you're getting the answers you want, but you have to remember that we're not your doctor and we really can't tell you what's going on with you. You said you can't get in to see the doctor for 2 weeks, but you seem very concerned- I think you should call the office and tell them you feel that it's an emergency. Any band clinic should have "emergency" slots available just in case. Good luck to you,
