I was banded on May 11th and just had my first fill on July 5th. The doctor put 0.5cc in my band. I already had 1.0cc from the time of my surgery. I'm not sure if I have restriction or not.
The 2nd night after my fill, I ate a few bites of a pork chop--cut up very small--and after a couple of bites, my chest began to feel super tight. It wasn't actually pain but it was extremely uncomfortable. I got up and walked around then took a small sip of Water and it went away. I continued eating and everything else went down just fine.
The next day for Breakfast, I had an egg and a spoonful of hashbrowns. It went down with no worries. I wasn't too hungry after that small amount. For lunch, I had the pork chops again--cut up very small--and the same thing happened. After about 5 bites, I had that same feeling come over me. This time I did not take a drink, I just walked around. Then, I was able to take about 5 more bites before I decided to call it quits. I wasn't feeling that same thing I just decided that I'd had enough.
SOOOO, IS THIS RESTRICTION???
My doctor said I could come back within a week if I wanted to and he'd adjust it for free. I'm wondering if what I'm feeling is true restriction or if it's just a weird thing that happens with certain foods.
Oh, I was able to swallow two Nyquil caplets (they aren't too small) and it was no problem at all so I know my opening is at least the size of a dime!
