Severe Back, Stomach, And Chest Pain After 10 Months With Lap Band Surgery

[jamierela 0]

I am at the 10 month mark and haven't lost any weight in 4 months will fills once a month. Last night I had such severe back, stomach, and chest pain that I could not move. I tried gas strips as well as Water. I kept dry heaving. This all started with mid back pain. After about 3 hours of this I finally threw up something long and green. The only thing I had eaten was fish that I had already threw up early in the day and Soup that I was able to keep down. This is the 2nd time this has happened , but the last time it was just mid back pain and no throwing up green stuff. I go in for a fill Wednesday, but am ready for them to take the band out. I am sick of throwing up all the time and not losing anymore weight. I've told the doctor and he acts as if this is normal. I haven't been able to eat a solid meal in over 6 months and that was only because he loosened it when my stomach and esophagus were swollen. Does anyone else have these issues?

It almost sounds like it could be a gallbladder problem if you still have your gallbladder. I had sever stomach and back and should pain when I had the attacks. Towards the end I was throwing up bile because I had a stone in the duct.

I also agree with the above post, that sounds like the kind of pain I used to have from my gallbladder before it was taken out. Maybe you should ask your doctor to see if he can order an ultra sound.
