Wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I don't know what's causing it, but in maybe the last week, week and a half, my torso just balloons with air (You can tell by the way my stomach pokes out), and it's making it pretty impossible to eat. I switched to a Protein shake for Breakfast because I got sick of wasting food that comes back up. lunch is usually hit or miss (miss for sure when there's air), and dinner is also the same. If food comes up I usually wait a little bit and have a shake to supplement.

But the only thing I can think of is the .5 CC I got put in at my last appointment. I'm at 5.5CC in a 10CC band, and didn't have NEAR as much air issues before the fill. And I had been sitting at 5CC's for over 3 months prior to that.

I just tried to have tuna for lunch (shredded no less!), and I had about an ounce of the 2 ounces, and it came up. Considering the consistency of the food, it shouldn't of had any issues, except that I had air build up trying to get it out, but to no avail.

Any suggestions? I don't know why it happens, but when it does I can't eat anything!

Id call the Doctor. I saw someone else post about much the same thing. Im sorry that I was rather dismissive. Two now. Too much for coincidence. Have you been drinking soda? Hope you find the cause. Id have been on the phone already to my Doctor. Good Luck! Sandy

I don't drink soda, so I know that's not a cause. I drink water and protein shakes mostly. It's pretty annoying though LOL almost as bad as eating the same thing and the first time I eat it, it comes up...try it a few hours later, and everything is fine.

Im pretty sure you are too tight.

When was your fill? I always struggle a good week and a half after fill. But maybe too tight...I've had a little of that but, mostly belching! I have to learn to eat slower and take smaller bites...something I have to work hard at my band us at a 6cc in 10 band.

I got a small fill on 10/16. Which I knew was coming cause my weight loss had slowed. But the whole air in torso is obnoxious :/ I'd rather go back to 5CC at this point. I don't each that much as it is now, so I wouldn't be over eating...my mental perception of food caught up with...so big plates freak me out haha

Definitely sounds like a small unfill may help you.

Too tight!
