I don't know what it is but my band is NOT my friend today. This morning I tried to drink a protein shake and could barely drink it. It felt stuck. Since then I've been burping nonstop. Like not huge burping but little burps and then gurgling and my mouth gets all watery and feels like I'm going to throw up but I don't. Anyone have this before ? I think I might be too tight but I for my last fill almost a month ago so I don't know why now all of a sudden this is happening. I'm waiting for a call back from my doctor buts it's worrying me.

That does not sound pleasant at all. Hopefully the Doc will have some good advice. I know I have issues in the morning where I am too tight to eat but have never had an issue with a protein shake other than the fact I will feel bloated after having it. Generally as the day goes on I loosen up a bit. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I have heard about this before, and some advice that was given was to try something warm. Sounds like you might be a bit tight, if you have a cold or something that could make it more so in the mornings.

For me the mornings are a bit tighter, and I usually start the day with a cup of coffee or tea before eating anything. It really does help.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah. You sound too tight right now. You could try some liquid motrin to help you out right now. Personally, I skip breakfast and drink coffee until lunchtime to allow my band time to 'open up.'

Jim - love your new picture. Very dapper

I would call your doctor and explain what is happening. It does sound like you're a bit too tight, but if your last fill was close to a month ago, and you haven't had this problem until today, it's best to rule out anything other than a band that's too tight.

Please let us know.....and I hope you feel better soon.
