Im almost 2 years post-op lap band.  Ive been eating the wrongs foods during the holidays.  Have gained 8 lbs since Thanksgiving.  For 2 days now I have had upper abdominal pain and lower back pain.  Is this due to the weight gain or is something wrong with my band?
Hi. The pain in the upper abdomen with back pain is most probably due to some problem with the gastric band. This can be due to migration, erosion or infection. I would advise you to consult a Surgeon, get an upper GI endoscopy, ultrasonography and relevant tests and get treated accordingly.
