How To Cure Chest Pain Due To Adjustable Gastric Band Placement?
Hello, I have an adjustable gastric band that was placed in June 2005. It was completely emptied over a year ago. Recent imaging shows that there is still a signifant amount of restriction. At this moment, I am suffering severe (perhaps a 7 on a scale of 1-10) pain in my chest in the vicinity of the band, which pain flows in waves through my chest and then down through my stomach. I have taken a muscle relaxant, cyclobenzaprene 10 mg) and 800 mg of Ibuprofen, and I believe that both have passed through the band restriction as I am able to drink hot tea. I need to know what else I can do to alleviate this pain without going in for emergency surgery to have the band removed. It is Christmas Eve here and everything is closed.
