Thank you all so much for your responses! It's great to have someone to talk to. I was afraid you guys were going to say call my doctor . My boyfriend has been telling me all weekend. I'm going to give it one more day to see how I am feeling. I will stick to fluids tonight and tomorrow to allow my band to relax. If it still hurts to swallow liquids tomorrow I will call. Again, thank you all so much! Maddy

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was banded on April 10th and have lost 20lbs since. I'm hoping someone can help me...I don't know if my band is too tight, something is stuck or if it has slipped? I have been eating whatever I wanted up until being filled to 7 cc's on Tuesday. Now eating has been hard (mostly liquids), but this weekend was the worst. On Saturday, I did not eat breakfast, ate broth for lunch and then went to a barbecue for dinner where I had a hot dog (no bun). I thought I chewed the hot dog up enough, but ended up pbing, sliming and then heaving. It looked like I got all of the hot dog up, but later I tried eating ice cream, but ended up pbing and sliming again. Went to bed, woke up made a cup of coffee and that too would not stay down. Bought soup for lunch...same thing. I managed to painfully get down five or six bites of dinner (finely blended) without pbing. Tried coffee again this morning, but could only take a few sips and it hurt. I bought soup on the way into work and was able to eat half a cup, but it hurt going down. I'm drinking slim fast now and I'm still having the same problem. It seems to go down fine up until it hits my chest and then I feel the pain. It feels almost like the slim fast moves something and then drops down into my stomach and then the pain is gone. The area from my belly button up to my chest hurts right in the center...I'm thinking it's swollen from pbing. Am I too tight, is something stuck or has my band slipped? Maddy
