HELP! Stomach pains!!



Recommended Posts

So..every now and then i'll wake up and have stomach pains, located in my "upper stomach area"..im assuming where my band is. The pain normally goes away after I drink some Water or eat something..but today its not..and its hurting more than ever!! I called my doctor and am waiting for them to call me back right now. I PRAY its not erosion..the idea of that happening scares the hell out of me! Has anyone else had this happen? And if so, what did you do?

I was banded back in September and have had about 4 fills since.

HELP!

Just a suggestion-

I am not banded so I wouldn't know for sure-

But, I just recently started having these pains in my upper stomach area that went away after eating and hurt at night- It was H. Pylori bacteria that causes all kinds of nastyness like ulcers and GERD and such. You might have that.

I hate to say the obvious, but I would contact my surgeon if I were a similar situation. That doesn't sound normal from from anything I've read, but I'm real early in my band-life to know.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
