I was at work this morning, all of a sudden it felt like I was stabbed, then I pushed area with my finger & about leaped from my chair. Waited about 5 mins. I started to walk around & the pain was horrible. Started feeling nauseated & got acid reflux. My boss sent me.home now I'm in waiting room at lap band Dr & I'm a nervous wreck.

I'm glad you are were able to get to the doctor so quickly. They will have the answers for you I'm sure. I hope your pain goes away and your doctor informs you as to what is going on. Keep us informed!!

It will be okay. Kind of sounds like a slip to me or you are just way too tight. At least you got in to see your Dr quickly. My Dr will always see me right away if I think something is wrong or I am too tight. Good luck.

Where on your body did you feel the stabbing pain? Your chest? Your upper/middle/lower abdomen?

This happened to me and it turned to be gas pain. Exactly the way you are describing it! I was in massive pain for about four hours and was about to drive the hour to my LB doc and decided to take a hot bath and some liquid pain medicine. It finally began to fade away. I thought for sure my band had slipped, it hurt so bad! Let us know how you are doing!!

      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.
