Draven 188 Posted March 13, 2013 Hi all. So I just had a quick question. Has anyone ever felt discomfort with their band? Long story short, I had a fill a week and a half ago. After fill I couldn't get any solids down. Had a few vomiting spells. I called the doctor. We decided that instead of an unfill I would restart the cycle. Two days liquids. Two days soft mushy. And than try solids again, but this time really focusing on bite size. I never had an issue before this with bite size, but thought they maybe finally got my band to the point it was really working. Now all of a sudden I have a feeling ot tightness around the band. And some slight discomfort. It felt as if I were sucking my stomach in even though I wasn't. And pretty much right where my band is. I have never felt that before, and was wondering if anyone here has? Thank you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kime-lou 648 Posted March 13, 2013 Was it gas? With my eating more steamed and raw veggies (broccoli, cabbage) I tend to get bloated with gas more often, which sometimes causes my belly area to hurt. Mine goes away after I get the gas out. Good luck, as always talk to your doctor . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Draven 188 Posted March 13, 2013 I don't think its gas. Not feeling gassy at all. it's hard to describe it. Best i can do is say it feels like its being squeezed. Like i'm sucking my stomach in, but i'm not. LOL. if that makes any sense at all. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsANewDay 119 Posted March 13, 2013 I had two "stuck" episodes within two days. I had a sensation like you are describing, my doctor explained it was secondary to being "stuck" and my esophagus responded in a way it had never had to contract before and that I might continue to have muscle spasms for up to a month. I didn't have an "un-fill" but went on liquids for a week the mushies for 2 weeks. It took about 3 weeks for it to subside. I required muscle relaxers. Talk to your doctor today, he will have the answers you need. Best of luck and I hope you get comfortable soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
