I got my second fill on Monday of this week and I would say that I now have restriction. My questions is that everytime I take a small drink I can feel the liquid going down. I am now not drinking as much liquid as I was previously because I can only take small sips. I just started on mushy food last night and nothing has gotten stuck, but I definetly have to eat very very slow and I can feel everything going down. I would not say it is necessarily painful but it does feel weird. Is this something that I just have to learn to live with??

It sounds like you have good restriction that you will learn to adapt to. If you start having problems in a few days when you go to solid food then you might need an unfill. Drinking and eating slowly is good.

Best wishes,

Hey how's u? Well I'd say no I dnt think its too tight if food is still goin down ok. I just had my 5th fill today and so have 7ml in mine. I have the same sensation in the sense that I can not drink a lot even water but yet can eat mushy foods ok. I think its the displacemnt of air/water in ur stomach that causes the problem wen drinking and. I would say not to worry unless u find u cnt swallow mushy foods either x

Looking for some help... had my first fill yesterday after having my band over bypass done 3/17/11 my stomach hurts and i feel full all the time... i ate eggs today but i still feel full from almost 8hrs ago... am i too tight? will the stomach ache go away? ive heard the fill can cause swelling hoping thats my only problem. i havent felt like vomiting or anything so maybe this will pass?
