Been banded for 4 wks and dint have a fill yet. I'm premenstrual (tmi) :-) and 2 things have been happening. Top oft stack has been tightening and it really hurts in weird way. I know it's the band. Also had my st stuck incident out of blue when lately I can eat and drink anything. I jad terrible pain in sternum area and felt like turkey sandwich got stuck. I panicked flailing arms and was just abou to try and throw it up when my son brought me something to drink to try and get it down. It worked but I was tired after the incident and had similar incident tonite. Has anyone else experienced this?
