Back pain....Slipped band?



Recommended Posts

The last few days everytime I eat my back hurts. This AM for example, I took a small bite of sausage, (which I've eatin several times before) chewed well and by the time I took a second bite my back hurt, like right at my spine in the middle of my shoulders. I felt like I was going to puke but didn't . I figured it was stuck so I took some papaya enzyme. I've not had my first fill yet. I've heard that stress can make you more restricted, but even when your not filled yet? My life has been very stressful the last week or so. I'm even stressing more on this because now I wonder if this is what people mean when they have a band slip? I always thought that if it was a slip, you would have chest pain, am I a odd one? I decided to stay on liquid for a few days but even Water is uncomfortable to swallow, I have to take little sips like in the beginning. Has anyone had this happen, I'd like to hear from you.

You've just described my "something's stuck" pain. It starts in my abdomen, moves to my hips, and then really settles in my spine right between my shoulderblades. I too have been extra tight the last few days, to the point where I was sliming over a single swallow of Protein drink today. That hasn't happened since I had an unfill (after being filled too tight). I'm guessing it has to do with the weather... it has been getting warmer, humidity has been higher. Overall I'm puffier so it makes sense that I'd be puffier inside too. :rolleyes:

I'm super tight about a week before TOM. Any chance yours is coming up?

OMG Thank you so much. my Aunt Flo came to visit today. I never thought about that being the cause. What about stress, with my daughters senior prom (which she got queen) and all the other senior things along with car issues, my life has been really stressed. I was hoping being stuck was all it was. Thanks again. I was able to drink alittle creamed Soup for dinner, so I think I'll stick to liquids for a few days.

      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.
