Dear Please Help!

This may sound very silly but does it only occur when you sit or does it happen when you stand and eat as well? My train of thought goes to positioning of your stomach and band in relation to sitting and standing. Perhaps sitting is pushing up the stomach which makes the flow more restricted. I truly hope this resolves itself for you as your committment is strong. I applaud you and wish you the best.

Forme 3/2

dear please help,

sometimes that can occur if the esophogus is in spasm, and you eat too fast. it has happened to me a few times after my first fill. dry food can also bring it on. try slowing down, and waiting until the first few bites go down okay before you put another bite in your mouth.. it is an awful feeling! good luck!!
