Band seems tight about 3 weeks after fill

Has any one had difficulty with feeling tight about 3 weeks after a fill?

I had abut 1/2 cc fill almost a month ago and it worked like a charm. I thought I was at my sweet spot.

But then I got my period and I had the worst heartburn and gas. I started taking omeprazole and it helped a little. Now after my cycle I started feeling great so I stopped the omeprazole. Now today I can hardly eat, everything gets stuck. I feel gassy (sp) but not the heartburn.

Any insight would be great!:thumbup:

Not exactly insight but I had my third fill about three weeks ago and I feel like everyday I don't know what I will get- some I am so tight I can only do liquids at first and others I can eat a lot more...

I am feeling that way right now - I had to go get a fill and then go back for more because they put in less than i went in with .long story - but all in all i got .5cc and i have heartburn and reflux to beat the band this week,, I am so hoping it calms down,, i dont want to drive an hour and a half for an unfill

Went to doctor today. My band was very restricted and caused swelling and a little pouch stretching. Complete unfill and meds for 2 weeks. Good thing I didn't wait too long to see him.

I will be glad when this is over. :thumbup:
