I got an unfill 2 weeks ago due to severe acid reflux & a night cough. The Dr said I might have some slippage. Now, I'm getting random sharp pains every now & then in my chest. Is that the band slipping back?

i'm going to guess not. most sharp pains in the chest could be a esophageal spasm. of course you can't rule out a heart attack either. when my band slipped a bit I had horrible pain in my esophagus and the barium swallow showed it to be 20 spasms. after a couple of months of being unfilled and following the doctors orders to the T. my band slipped back into place and I no longer have spasms. i am in the process of slowly getting fills. i wish you luck

@@heather020813 I'm sorry your experiencing trouble with your band. As @@terrydumont46 said this could be something to do with your heart rather then just your band so please reach out to your Dr. and go in to be checked out. Better to error on the side of caution then catastrophe.

Let us know how you are doing!!

      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.
