question

It is really hard to tell. My doctor puts me on a strict plan after each fill...clear liquids for 2 days, protein shakes for 2 days, pureed foods for 2 days, soft protein foods for 2 days and then solids. He feels that when you get a fill that you swell and you need to give your band time to heal each and every time. Not each doctor feels this way. If I was not able to get the clear liquids down then I would say I was too tight..which one time I was and yes you are right that being too tight does not do you any good. I hope this helps. Take care!

I never thought of heartburn as a "too tight" indicator. I'm interested in the responses from others with experience in this.
