I went through a time where I would get sooo gassy that the back of my shoulder would hurt until I got all the gass out. This was also after my second fill and it would be worse if I hadn't eaten all day...weird I know. It lasted about a month then went away. I was a horrible time.

I got my 4th fill last week, I have 2.8 in 4cc band. I feel like the fill is great, I have good restriction, no pb'ing, I can eat what ever, no issues...except I have this strange sensation at the back of my throat, it's a slight slight burning sensation (not major, just a smiggin) it comes and goes though out the day, I don't have the heartburn symptoms (chest) or any reflux when I lay down except this strange tinglie burning sensation that lasts a few minutes then goes away...only to return with in a few more minutes or a hour later. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS. Do you think I should get a smiggin of an unfill? oh and BTW pepcid, tums and gaviscon don't do a thing.

If you were NEVER able to eat bread and always had decent restriction and then the next day you felt your restriction had vanished and was able to eat a piece of bread? Because now I’m freaking out. AND lately I feel all gassy and such …

The last few days I will get this pain under my right rib then all of a sudden I start belching continuously for like 10 minutes then it goes away, I'm assuming the pain is gas pressure????I think. I happens when I first get up in the morning or about 1 hour after I eat. This is new to me....is this typical????...sooo odd

Holy crappers, that is really scary that no one bothered to call you. You poor poor girl!!! I can see why you are so upset with them, I'd be too. I am glad you found a fill doctor that treats you like #1. Glad you are ok and feeling better!! This is good info, I was thinking about going down for my 3rd fill (just to have everything looked at) by now I don't think I will bother.

I could always feel it right below my port scar NOW it's inline with my scar...WTH??? Is this normal???

Good for you!!!! That is the best news ever!!! This is very exciting news!

Last night I had sautéed beef skewers and after the first few bites I got this brutal pain of something being stuck, I’ve had things get stuck before but this was way worse. I couldn’t stop moaning in pain, OMG it was AGONY. I tried everything to get this thing to pass, I was walking I was hunched over the tub, my 9 year old was pounding my back….1.5 hour later a whole gob of slim with food effortlessly exploded from my mouth about 3 times over the next ½ hour. SOOOO 2 hours of sliming and pbing has caused my throat to feel really raw and uneasy. I tried having jello this morning and I felt a mild stuck feeling but it passed quickly (I’m assuming I’m swollen). Should I stick with liquids for a few day? How long does this uneasy stomach/raw throat feeling last? Any suggestions? Do you think I should have my band looked at?

Is there a rule? This would mean you are drinking while eating ehh??? And what about stuff like watermelon?

This is fantastic information....Thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!

My first bites are killers....I'm too preoccupied with eating that I forget to chew so food get stuck and it hurts like hell, I think my body is trying to PB but I have such an aversion to up-chuck that my body keeps it down and it hurts soooo bad...kwim. HELP!!!! I need to learn how to PB....I know this is such a retarded question...but honestly this is the best way I can explain it...

You look amazing...you should be very proud of yourself!!

I had my first fill on Wednesday and it was only 1.4....BUT think about as "slow and steady wins the race". Good luck....I've heard that 1.8 is a good first fill.

If you are restricted and you get that “full” feeling where you can’t take another bite or you will Ralph……. then how do people over eat and stretch their pouch if you can only put so much into your pouch…Can someone explain this to me?? Disclaimer: I just had my 1st fill today and have never attempted this act…ever!!!
