I was banded on June 16, 2010. I've had 2 fills (1 cc, 1.5 cc) plus the 2 cc's that they put in the band during surgery. I had my second fill one week ago. I'm much tighter after my second fill. I feel a tightness in my lower throat when I eat most things now - even when I drink sometimes but that is going away I think. When I eat, I need to burp after just about every bite. I can feel a pressure and then I feel like I need to produce a burp. Is this being stuck? I'm not vomiting or sliming. Eventually, I'll burp which relieves some of the pressure. Am I not chewing well enough? Eating the wrong things? I can even have this experience with yogurt? However, I haven't had any problems with a few foods as random as popcorn. Still figuring out what is normal. I assume that this is just what being tighter feels like and it will loosen up as this fill settles in?

It's just air displaced by whatever you're eating and drinking. I burp more than I ever have. The tighter the band is the more I burp.

When that was happening to me my band was too tight. You may need to get a small amount out.
