Pain-has my band slipped??



Recommended Posts

For the past couple of months, I have had bad heartburn at night. Sometimes it's to the point where I actually wake up in the middle of the night having food come up with a burning sensation in my throat. Two nights ago, I had heartburn all night and I had that burning sensation again most of the night with liquid/food coming up. All day yesterday and again today, my esophogus is painful and I can't eat or drink anything without it hurting. It starts around the throat area and hurts all the way down the middle of my chest. It also hurts when I burp, it seems like a lot of pressure as well. Could this be a slipped band or something else?? Should I stay on liquids only? NERVOUS!

Call your doc. It could be several things but even if it's very minor (which is likely) you need to treat it ASAP or it can become major (heartburn will cause erosion in your esophagus over time). So call first thing Monday and get checked out.

Hi I read your post and I wanted to tell you, I thought I had slipped my band so I went to the doctor today. Thank goodness I have not but the Doc said that if it was a slip these are the symptoms, heartburn, reflux, vomiting, and painful pain in your chest and not being able to keep alot of things down. I dont want to scare you but I would just go to the Doctor!!!!! :thumbup:

So what did the problem end up being? You posted this a week ago, what did your doc say?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
