New to blogging, banded last May

[Under200 0]

This is new territory for me! I was banded last May, and I've lost 43 pounds. I'm very happy, but experiencing some pain.....so I turned to the internet. I haven't blogged about my experience to date, so this is something different.

I'm trying to figure out why I'm in so much pain lately...about 4 days now. Can hardly eat anything.....just a few bites puts me in terrible pain...I'm wondering about a possible blockage?

IDK...I was banded June 08 and have lost 70 lbs. I am having some issues with pain as well. It just started about a week ago. I am beginning to wonder if being banded was such a good idea. I seem to worry a lot about the band slipping or blockages too. I can't help you but I can say "I feel your pain".

yes, I know what you are saying....when everything is "working", it feels great to be losing and "in the zone." It's just trying to find and keep that balance because the whole darn thing seems so tempermental!

Sometimes I notice if I don't chew things well enough, I start getting pain and soreness for several days. I work on chewing better and having things go down smoothly. If you're worried, go to a doc and get a flouro so they can look at your pouch to make sure nothing's wrong. Your weight loss is doing awesome!

I agree with Miss Flipflops...go to youe LB Dr. and get checked under fluro. They might need to unfill you for a few weeks. I would rather be checked and be safe then not be checked and maybe something wrong. Waiting could be the difference between easy treatment or a long hard treatment. Please let us know how your doing.
