Discomfort / Pain Near Port

[amm2460 0]

Hello everyone,

In a bit if a pickle and I was hoping that someone might have advice.

I'll first start with saying that I recently moved to Los Angeles and trying to find a new band doctor here (then I can properly discuss my issues with him/her)

At a friends birthday dinner a week and a half ago, I bit off a little more than I could chew and had to vomit after dinner. I haven't gotten sick in quite some time, but this episode felt like a doozy.

Since then I've felt discomfort in my stomach. Not necessarily a lot of pain, but more of a lot of pressure if that makes sense. I've tried things like Pepto and Gas X but that doesn't seem to being doing much. Even tried Peppermint tea.

I'm not sure if my stomach/esophagus got bruised during my episode but I thought it would have healed by now. At this time I don't have a problem keeping anything down, and haven't had a vomit episode since.

I don't think the band has slipped as that actually happened to me before, 2 years ago. When that happened, I couldn't keep anything down (not even water).

Has this happened to anyone? Or does it sound like something else you have read?

Like I said, I'm trying to find a doctor but I would appreciate any support xoxo

Sorry you are having trouble and hope you find a dr soon. Not sure if this will help but a girl in another group had a really bad stuck episode and the dr told her to take mylanta. I think mylanta has been pulled from the shelf because they are changing the formula. You can still get generic. I got mine cvs brand and the cherry is really good. Sorry I think she has a spastic esophagus. She was very uncomfortable but doing much better.
