  1. I have had 3 fills and have 6.5cc in a 10cc band. My first 2 fills didnt do much. I had my 3rd 3 weeks ago and had some trouble with food going down. I thought this is what resctiction feels like. I could feel some discomfort if I didnt chew well. This lasted about 3 weeks. In the last 2 days this feeling has stopped. I feel like i can swallow easier. Is it strange that the trouble getting food down suddenly stopped? What does restriction feel like? I do feel full quickly but have none of the sensation of the food "going down" for lack of a better term. I am just hoping this is normal.
  2. I have had 3 fills so far. I noticed no restriction until my 3rd fill. i have lost weight and cant eat as much after first 2 but had no problem eating anything. After 3rd fill I could feel food go down and could not eat meat or raw vegies without some difficulty. 2 days ago i stopped feeling that feeling when food goes down. Its like I am opened up more. Does this ussually happen 3 or 4 weeks after a fill? I am a little worried something is wrong.
  3. I was filled for the first time s5 days ago. I have been fine but now feel a feeling of constant gas and some light discomfort. Like a lump in my throat. is this normal?
  4. I have lot 32 pounds so far. lots of walking. Is it normal not to feel your port after you heal?
