Agnonizing stomach/back pain. Went to ER

[viking_girl 0]

Long story, but I'm really worried. I've had my band for 3 months and had one fill about a month and a half ago and have had no problems.

Today though, something really scary happened. I was sitting at my computer and out of no where I got this crippling pain in my back. I had put strain on it at work so didn't panic, but then I went to lay down and all of a sudden the pain extended to my stomach. All day my stomach has felt like it's being twisted and rinsed out like the way you would with a washcloth whenever I so much as breathe. I've had that same sensation like when you first get out of LAP-BAND® surgery and your every move is torture, but even more severe..........

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be or any similar experiences? Do you think it's nececessarily band related?

This post is pretty old... can you give us an update on what happened??

Would definitely be interesting to know the outcome, but doubt we'll get an update. Shrinkerbell hasn't logged on here since 8/26/09 and this was the last post made.

Thanks for your reply. Can the symptoms come and go? I had it for a week last month, then it disappeared, and then a few days ago I had it start up again, to just stop again after two days. Thanks so much!

Yes Gallstone pain can come and go and when it starts it is usally after you have had something to eat. I would rather have twins then have another gallbladder attach. I had three attachs before they took mine out. I have aslo read a lot of bander have gallbaldder issue, my sergeon even removes them during surgery if the sees and small issues.
