I just woke up in terrible stomach pain. I just had my first "real" fill since my surgery in march almost 2 weeks ago. There were a ton of complications from my surgery so I waiting a while before having a fill. Now I've woken in terrible pain. I can feel it's where the band is. I'm wondering if I've slipped? Normally I wouldn't jump to such a conclusion but since I've had so many complications from the very beginning, and I've been throwing up A LOT since my fill last Monday. Should I wait it out or should I go to the ER??? Uggg I wish I never go this thing put in me.

Terrible stomach pain means phone your doctor! Now!  If you have just had a fill and have been throwing up you may just  be too tight.  But you should never have "terrible" pain.

I agree with Kate.
There should NEVER be an experiencing of pain ( unless you ate something or didn't chew properly). But never any other pain.

When I got fills, I would be tight fr a couple of days, then feel the same as before the fill for a week or so, then around 10-14 days after would feel more restriction.  By more restriction, I would get a soft stop sign, runny nose, when I was 1/2 to 2/3 done with my measured meal of 1/2 cup.

You could very well need an unfill.  You need to call your band doctor ASAP.  Good luck!
