Pain in banded area

[Paula08 0]

I have been banded since March 08 and have had great success. The problem is on Wednesday I was eating lunch chicken and something didn't feel right. I stopped eating and tried later thats when i started vomiting. On Thursday I stayed on liquids and had a hard time holding them down. I have a constant pain in my left upper chest area. Now it is Friday and I called my doctor to find that he is not there this week so I talked to the advice nurse whom Im still waiting to hear back from.

has anyone else experienced anything like this? If so, what did you do?

Dr. called and said it sounds like my band may have slipped but he cannot see me tell Monday morning because he is out of town.

It going to be a long weekend.....

I am going into the ER my doctor said he spoke with his surgeons and they are preparing to admit me. Thank goodness. I dont think I would have lasted all weekend.

i have had pain on exertion and on certain stretching movements from the begining. i was banded on aug 29th of 07. finally, i am now being told that it is very likely scar tissue and have to do a pelvic cat scan to rule out anything else. i will have to have the port moved. the good news - i have finally started to lose weight. the bad news - pain is a weekly part of my life and now surgery may be also. despite all of this, i'm still happy that i did it
