luckycharm830 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Hi everyone. I ve been crusing this website since i got banded which was july 30 07 but i never registerd everyonbe seems to be very helpful to one another so i thought id give it a try. Well like i said i got banded in july and everything had been going well , to date i have lost about 80 lbs. Well a couple of days ago i started having some chest pressure and some stomach pains also had been constipated for 3 days so i just wasnt feeling good. I went to see my doc and he told me i was probably overeating and basically gave me some laxatives and told me i needed to "flush" myself out. Went home did that. Suddenly the chest pressure got pretty evident and its right in the middle of my chest above my breasts im assuming esophagus, I have been just doing liquids and mushies. Im not vomiting im able to keep things down i just have this really uncomfortable pressure. Any thoughts on what it could be ? Im terrified that my bands slipped or something worse. My doctor seemed pretty passive to the whole thing. He told me if after i am flushed out and still feel pain to go in and he will do the xrays and such. Thing of it is its the weekend cant go in till next week..so for now im just looking for some input from anyone on what they think it is. From what ive gathered on this site could be dilated esophagus or hiatal hernia, but i dont know like i said im able to keep things down. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

ontheway 1 Posted April 16, 2008 Curious to know what you found out about the pain in your chest? I'm having that. Although I'm having issues even getting anything down AT TIMES. It usually stays down so I don't think I have a slip, but I'm so tired of hurting!:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
