I think I found my "full" feeling, but it's not where I expected. I think I'm feeling it in my mid back. Does anyone else feel it here? I was expecting to feel it in my chest or in my esophogus but I'm wondering if this feeling in my back is my new "full".

Yes.

I am feeling this currently...it's a very tight feeling in my upper back between my shoulder blades. When I was first banded I used to feel it in my left upper chest it was not super uncomfortable but I didn't wanna eat anymore to find out if it could be..lol! Right now I am full, I feel full and gosh darn it that is good enough for me!

Yeah, I ate a lot at lunch today and had that back feeling for a while....but was not at all hungry the whole rest of the day (it's now 6pm and I'm STILL not hungry). I'm pretty sure I was "full". Wow...now if I could just get that feeling on half as much food, because I'm relatively certain I ate more than 1/2 cup of food. I need to pack measuring devices to restaraunts for a while I think...just to get a better idea of what is what.

Back pain was my "full" for the 1st say 6 weeks or so I thoughtg great this is gonna be easy to figure out. That was before a fill and I just had the restruction of "healing swelling" a few weeks later my back fullness was gone and I couldn't find any anywhere ! Sadley I am now 4 months out with 7cc's in my band and I have yet to feel restriction again like I did those 1st few weeks.

Yep! My back is where I feel full the majority of the time. I don't like the feeling. It isn't very comfortable. Sometimes I feel it in my chest, but I think that's when I overeat. It's hard to get used to and I'm not used to it yet. Some say that if you feel it in your back, you may be eating too fast or not chewing enough. This could be true for me, as I have not had a "stuck" episode yet and have only had one fill. I still eat almost as fast as I did before being banded, although I do try to chew more. It just seems that I swallow it almost automatically and can't stop it from going down. Anyway, this is how it is for me.
