Band+plication fullness/pressure?

[Muñekita 36]

Been banded 7 yrs ago, and plication 1 yr ago. The last 2-3 weeks I just randomly get this pressure of fullness. Like as if someone pumped air in my stomach and I feel super full and it's so uncomfortable. And it happens out of no where, not like when I'm eating or anything. And the fullness last hours, and I can't even sip Water because I feel as if it will get worst. After hours of this feeling, I start to feel hungry and able to eat.

Anyone else experienced this??

I just emailed my doc with my concern and praying it does not have to do with my band of plication! :/

I don't want to scare you but that's one of the signs of a band slip or erosion? Don't wait for an email, call now. Hope I'm wrong

Have you had a slip or erosion before? Did you feel like that?

In the last 2-3 weeks I've had that feeling about 5 times. Tuesday it lasted about 4 hrs and yesterday 3 1/2 hrs. I just feel super duper full! And it's out of no where and very uncomfortable!

Omg

No, never had that feeling but I've been reading here a long time and quirky events like yours seem to precede a band slip, dilation or erosion. The plication complicates it though. Most patients with plication have wide open bands so they seldom have slips?

BTW-I am by no means a physician and this is something your doctor should evaluate but sudden onsets of painful or uncomfortable gastric complications need the attention of a real doctor.

OK now I'm more confused and scared

I went to see my Doc today and did the Nasal Endoscopy, and my band and plication are perfect, THANK YOU JESUS!!!

He also, had a ultrasound to make sure it wasn't the gallbladder or gallbladder stones. And that came negative, THANK GOD!!

He said it might be something fatty that I might be eating to make me feel bloated. So I will keep and eye out to see if there is a pattern. But I prayed to God it was nothing and believe in divine healing and also thank God for my wonderful doctor he truly is the best!!

Thanks everyone for your advice and words of encouragement!
