First time blogger... I had the band in Dec 2007... have lost 35 lbs. Weight loss is slow... real slow. But after reading some of the blogs... I think that I may be having and have been having some problems with fills. I have always been a fast eater and trying to retrain myself has been really difficult. I get what you call PB... I have always had this since I have been banded. I didn't know it wasn't normal. After I eat I feel like the food is in my throat ... I can feel the food slid through the band and there is relief. I also have what feels like heartburn sometimes. I think my band might be too tight... as I read these blogs. Can anyone give me more info on this problem? I see my doc on 9-2-08. Thanks.
