pain when eating solid food

[marsha 0]

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted anything in a long time. I've been banded for 4 years. My last fill was 2 years ago. My band is pretty loose, I don't have much restriction. My doctor seems to like it that way.

About 2 weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with severe heartburn. (This is not normal for me). I took a zantac and a tums and it subsided. The next day, I decided to go on liquids for a few days just to calm my stomach down. I continued to take zantac twice a day. I ended up staying on liquids for about a week. I was fine during that time, just a twinge of back pain once in a while. A few days ago, I started eating mushies. I had that twinge once in a while again but I figured maybe I ate too much since it was mushie stuff. Yesterday, I started solid food...every time I ate I got severe back pain and excessive burping. I couldnt get the burping to stop until I layed down in bed that night. Today, I tried solids again and the same thing happened.

I made an appointment with my doctor but I cant get in till Monday. In the mean time, I've gone back to liquids. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for any help, in advance!
