Chest pains!

One of my OH friends experienced chest pains the other day. This morning I ate a VERY small bowl of Honeynut Cheerios and tried to lay down a few minutes later. Then I started having chest pains on my left side and it hurt when I inhaled. I scared me I didn't know if it was related to my Realize Band (banded on 9/23/09) or if it was something else! I researched it and it is not uncommon to have chest pains when you have a  gastric band. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Its sounds like you may have been having a little bit of a stuck episode possibly. Everyone normally experiences this after being banded. You will learn what you can handle and what you can't. I would recommend never lying down after eating especially a few minutes because that will cause the food to just sit there and not go down which will also cause a stuck episode. I definitiely have had my share of stuck episodes. I hope this helps.

Thanks Ashley! That makes me feel better. :)
