Normal restriction or too tight?

I just got my 2nd fill last week and I've been having a hard time eating. I know that's kinda the point of the band, but I eat 4 bites and find myself with discomfort in my chest. The food does seem to go down though. I'm eating slowly with small bites, but now I find myself wanting more yogurt or slidey foods to supplement the 4 bites of real food. Is this normal restriction or is the band too tight?

I am having the same issue, I too got my 2nd fill last week and I am pbing and bringing it back up. But not all my food, I can eat some things and be ok, but I do notice if I try to eat red meat it wont stay down. I too am eating more yogurt, cottage cheese, things like that. Good luck and I hope this goes away or subsides soon.

You should check with your doctor, but with mine, if you can't tolerate solid foods within two weeks of a fill, you should go back in for a small unfill. There are some people who have trouble with certain problem foods, but it sounds like your issue is more across the board.

Saw the Dr. and got a small unfill (.3 cc). Hopefully this will help.

How many cc did you have before the unfill?
