Lap-Band Question...

Hi... Were they able to find out what the problem was?  I hope it was ok  

She said she decided it was not ER-worthy at the moment...and is curious if anyonw knows why it would feel like bee stings or burning there...not oozing...but stinging.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. She should schedule to have everything looked at if she is getting burning sensations. It could also be an ulcer near the band line. That is what my doctor suspects currently for similar symptoms I am having. I am nearly 2 years post op and will have my endoscopy in 2 weeks to confirm what the problem is.

I'll send her this info and I think your doctor is in her network. 

If she has any questions she can message me. I'm no expert but it took a while to get my endoscopy scheduled because my office kept scheduling me with the PA which got me nowhere. I would advise she see one of the main Dr's in her office and request to have her band looked at. Also maybe they can take blood tests. My iron has been getting lower and lower which turned out to be a potential other sign of an ulcer as it is like an open sore and can cause iron deficiency. Best of luck to her regardless!

I forgot to mention, the burning and stinging (which was occuring with almost everything I ate) has completely stopped since they unfilled my band so she may get some relief to get it unfilled while waiting for results.
