I am 7 months out and had a fill last Monday. I am up to 6.5cc in a 10cc band. I was fine until Friday night. I was starving and grabbed 2 pringles (I know, bad choice) while my dinner was heating up and got STUCK like I've never been stuck before. Sliming galore and 2 hours later I was panicked...tried gagging myself and still stuck and nothing but slime coming up. After 3 hours of bad pain I just went to bed with the stuck feeling still there.

Saturday morning it felt gone but I still could not eat. Water brought on the stuck feeling. I managed to get Soup and a yogurt down.

Sunday, still not fully back to normal feeling. food gets stuck at first and then if I wait long enough I can eventually get it down. This morning I had trouble getting coffee down. I cannot drink like I used to.

My question is am I too tight or did I just irritate my band? After a really bad episode, how long does it take for the irritation to go away? Is it possible to be filled on Monday and not be too tight till Friday?

I have still never had food come back up. I'm thinking I'll just wait a couple more days to see what happens. Any advice is appreciated!

You may just be swollen from such a bad stuck episode...I would suggest that you go on liquids for a couple of days and see if that helps. If it doesn't, you may need a small unfill - I know several people who don't feel the full effects of a fill for a week or sometimes two weeks so it is possible that your fill is just now kicking in...but I would try the liquids first...
