They did alot of test and did not find any thing witch is good,But I don't know what all this pain is,and how I can get it to go away.It is worst then when I had it done 3 weks ago fells someone ran over me with a truck.
 If any one can let me know I would like that thank's.

i get back pain and some chest pain when i get stuck on something.  i don't vomit or anything but alot of upper back pain. Dr. beausoleil told me it was referred pain from getting stuck.  mine passes in 3 or 4 hours. tylenol usually helps to relax it.

I don't suffer through it- nIf I don't up chuck,  I stick my finger down the throat and get rid of the problem.

I just remember Lise saying "whatever you do, do not make yourself vomit or stick your finger down your throat+.  You can cause the band to slip.  you are supposed to try to tough it out.  rule # 1 was don't vomit.  be very careful.    for all newbies reading....do not vomit unless your body takes over.

I was never told that. I know that vomiting is not good. but if I try to tough it out and vomit anyway, I vomit much harder. If I up chuck immediately, the food just comes up and I am done. But if I put it off and I vomit anyway, my body retches and I get dry heaves. That is much harder on my band & me.

You probably shouldn't be having chest and back pain 3 weeks post-op. Please keep at the docs until you get this sorted out! Hope you feel better soon!

Did you have gas pain after you had surgery?  If so, does it feel like that?  Cuz three weeks after I had surgery I started getting that pain and it was horrible, I would curl up into a ball on the couch in agony.  Turns out that I developed reflux after the surgery and Dr. B put me on pantaloc and I've felt great ever since
