Burning Sandpapery Feeling in the Chest???

Hello All,

What is the burning sandpapery feeling in the chest??? Does that mean something is kind of stuck and then goes past the band when the feeling eases? I just got my 3rd fill 8/15/11. Before that, I had no restriction. I am not sure if what I am feeling now is restriction. Often when I eat something, I get this burning sandpapery feeling in my chest, kind of like I swallowed a tennis ball whole. It usually passes after a few minutes. I don't get it every time I eat. I guess it occurs when I eat too fast or something that is too dry. I know I need to work on these things.

Other than that, I am really not feeling a sensation of fullness when I eat things that don't cause this sensation. Does this mean I am not at the sweet spot yet? My dr. is concerned because he says most of his patients have restriction after the 2nd fill. I guess he uses small bands up to 8 ml. I currently have 7 ml in the 8ml bad. He has suggested I go to have my next fill x-rayed.

Can those of you who are having success explain what restriction actually feels like? Thanks!! Vu
