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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
