Pain-has my band slipped??

[Berry40 0]

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 doctor!

That's reflux. Reflux is a very common symptom of being too tight. Go back to your doctor and get a small unfill.

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.

That is one of the big symptoms of a slip. I'd call your doc immediately (not trying to scare you)

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?
