I have had this feeling behind my chest/breast area that feels like the band has tightened or constricts. After I have eaten a salad. Not painful, just uncomfortable. My initial thought was maybe I took to large of a bite or ate to fast. Then I thought it was the famous gas. The discomfort happened b4 and went away. This time it lingered for a day or two. Has this happened to anyone else? Weird feeling!

Have you had any fills? I have noticed that when I have a minor "stuck" moment it feels different now since I have had fills than before. It sounds similar to when I have had one of those and then it's irritate for a day or two. For me it isn't pain either but more discomfort. Have you had trouble getting food down when it feels like that? If it persists, perhaps a call into your surgeon's office. I bet the nurses could help.

Banded 11/29/12 with 3.5cc. Don't think I was stuck because it went down and after eating is when it started again. Has since subsided just weird. And told the dr at last visit and the test looked good. Haven't had any other major side affects.
