My last fill was in Feb 2011. Right before Thanksgiving my band became extremely tight and eating has become so uncomfortable.

I wonder if your pouch is swollen? I'd try a few days on a liquid diet to see if that would help. Warm liquids in the

morning seem to do some good.

I do warm liquid every morning. I'm a coffee drinker. Not sure what is goin on, had a barium swallow fri. It's trickling down very slow. I go back to my dr on wednesday and see what he thinks.

I wonder if the coffee has irritated your pouch and caused swelling. They say not to drink coffee, though I know a lot of people do. Good luck
