I got my 2nd fill today, going from 4.5cc's in a 14cc band to 6cc's of fill. I'm able to drink water, iced tea, etc. (on a liquid diet for 24 hours post-fill as per my doctor's orders), but I've had an incredible tightness and pain in my chest since I left the doctor's office. Obviously I'm not overfilled since I'm able to drink liquids without discomfort, but is this tightness normal? The tightness is around my sternum area...and it's somewhat freaking me out. I go back again in 2 weeks for my next fill (if needed), and I REALLY hope I get some restriction out of the fill I got today...just curious if anyone else has had any chest pain/tightness after a fill, or if you have any clues as to why I might be experiencing this? :eek:

Hi,

Can not wait to hear answer because I am having same problem,

but I feel like the liquids are not going down to weel either.

I just saw your question of several days ago. Did the tightness subside or are you still feeling it? If you are not having any trouble getting liquids and soft foods down and you still have some pain, I would call the dr. Are you able to get solids down?

I would definitely call Dr....maybe you are too tight...just because liquids go down doesn't mean you aren;t too tight...keep us updated.

The tightness subsided within 24 hours, and I was able to get everything down...including a tri-tip sandwich! Guess I'm not at restriction yet...thanks for the replies!
