Nachtigall 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Hi, I was banded three days after you and I sometimes have pain at night... usually starting early morning about 4 or 5 am. In my case it's hunger. I am not often hungry lately, but at night I feel it that I do not really eat a lot of food (mushies). And it's not the rumbling stomach I knew on occasion pre-banding, I feel it as pain in my belly. Do I get up and eat? No, but I started to have a cup of milk or 1/3 cup of plain yogurt about an hour before I go to bed... If you want to try that, be careful, because eating late could give you reflux when laying down. Good luck! ~Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted August 13, 2008 My guess would be hunger too - for the first six months or so I felt hunger as quite strong crampy pain. I also got lots of random stomach aches, some that would last for 24 hours, and would hurt into the roof of my mouth or jaw. Over time, they went away, never get them anymore - unless I eat ice cream or something really cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
