i have just started having chest pressure and pain. had my first fill a week and a half ago. i thought i was just getting sick but it is starting to hurt when i swallow food. is this normal or does this suggest a problem with my band and or fill? :confused:

and just started having the gas pain in my shoulder. havent had that since right after my surgery

Sounds to me like a normal feeling. I get a pain in my chest when I am full, gets worse if I eat just a little too much. It's worse right after a fill. Not sure about the gas pain, I never had any. Best wishes!

ok. thx for the reply. just wanted to make sure nothing wrong with band.

I hope it gets better soon and it does sound like it might be a normal thing after a fill from what I've read.

However I work in the NHS here in the UK and they drum into us here that chest pain shouldn't be overlooked - so if it gets worst, spreads to your arm or if you get any other symptoms like difficulty breathing then call your doctor or emergency services to check.

better to be safe (but I'm sure you knew this)

good luck
