HELP ME please...tight feeling in my chest, throwing up after eating with recent fill

Please tell me what to do.....threw up some, but tight painful feeling in my chest still.

Thanks,
Terri

You need your band unfilled. It's squeezing your stomach too tight, causing swelling and in turn irritating your diaphragmatic nerves.  That causes pain in your chest.

You really need an unfill right away.

Feel better.

Just wanted to second the above opinion- sounds like you need a slight unfill. I would stick to full liquids (ie. protien shakes****il you can get in to the doc. You should tell them on the phone it's an emergency and you need to be seen right away. My doc. has even come in on days he's usually not in the office (he was at the hospital, doing surgeries i guess) to do an unfill for me. Feel better soon!

Call your doctor ASAP.

you definitely need a slight unfill call your doctor. Stick to just liquids until you get in,  you sound like your esophagus is really irritated,

Call your surgeon ---- now.

You should not be in pain and you should not be throwing up.

I had this problem and didn't go quickly.  When the doctor saw me and removed 1 cc from my band, it still took about a month before my esophagus calmed down and I could eat and drink comfortably.  Since then I had about .6 refill and have done fine with it.

Thanks to all of you for your quick responses.  After the first one, I did call my Surgeon's office.  At first they said they could get me in tomorrow at 10am.  I said, "OK, and what do I do until then with this pain?"  The nurse then said, "Can U be here in 20 min?"  I said YES, I am on the freeway!!  Got my .5 cc unfil and am feeling much better.  Came home and took a nap and had some soup for dinner. 

THANK YOU ALL for your excellent advice!!!

Mwahhhhh,
