What is this feeling???

Question: Had my band placed 4/30. Whenever I drink or eat jello or soup, (or take my vitamin) it feels like I can feel it go all the way down my esophagus ((sp)) and then into my stomach. It's not painful but uncomfortable. I know my esophagus wasn't operated on but why is it feeling weird whenever I swallow? :thumbup:

    That is a very normal feeling...it just takes longer for the food to go down now...the tighter you are, the longer it feels like it takes...

    I just got banded so I don't have any restriction yet. Does the band being placed add SOME restriction tho?

    Your stomach is swollen so you may have some restriction/tightness.

    Thanks for asking about this. I was banded the 29th and I am experiencing the exact samething. I was trying to explain the feeling to my husband, but could not put it into words.
