Constant Pressure

[sarcout13 0]

I have had my band about 1 1/2 years. I currently only have a small fill (2or3 cc), however, I seem to have a constant pressure in the middle of my chest no matter what I eat or drink. I went back to eating mostly a liquid diet, and I have noticed I can not even drink much Water. Has this ever happened to anyone, and how should I handle it? I have lost almost 60 lbs., but I am becoming extremely frustrated with my lap band - - and am ready to "chuck it". I feel like I never feel good anymore! Help!!:cursing::wub:

I would go back and see your Dr. He/she needs to check that everything is still OK.

I'm having the exact same problem. I got a fill last Tuesday, then two days of liquid and now that I am eating solid food again I am not able to eat or drink anything without it feeling like something is in the way in the middle of my chest. It hurts like crazy when I swallow something. I am even having to drink something to try to get the food down. It hurts bad. I hope that it will work itself out but my husband says to go and get some of the liquid taken out again. It's a good weight loss system to not be able to eat anything. lol. Just not going to be something that I can do long term. It hurts too much.
