I have had my band for a little over four months now, My last fill was a little over 5 weeks.. I went to see my surgeon and he was extremley pleased with my weight loss for the month so I didn't need another fill..

Anyway for the last 3 days I have not been able to get any food down at all no matter how soft or easy or how much I chewed it. As soon as it goes in I get the stuck feeling and all that comes along with it:cry and out it all comes... I have followed everything by the book and have been extremley cautious with my eating habbits and my choice of foods.

Is it possible to only just now feel the restriction? 5 weeks later? Or do we just have some days where nothing will go down? I'm a little concerned but am curious if it's sometimes normal??

Oppps looks like I have put this in the wrong section, Sorry guys

Thank you so much for replying to me Jack I really appreciate it. Well that has put my mind at ease. I will stick to the liquids for a couple more days and if it's no better I will see my surgeon I didn't know it could take 5 weeks to feel a restriction....

Thanks again

Let the rest of us know how that goes so we can learn from your experience, hope your feeling better soon!!

Hi Phatty, I get this way once in a while and I need to go a day or so on liquids like Jack said, then I drink hot teas, sip slowly and put the cup down between sips, I also get a little more active to get my mind off of everything, I go shopping! and walk and walk and get my eyes full of eye candy. and I drink a lot of water, but not in big gulps, and my rule at those times is "easy does it" like bugs bunny used to say as he sank into his hot bath water!

Thanks for the well wishes becca77 I'm feeling alot better and I can eat a weetbix without me bringing it up.. Still cant eat anything else though yet!! I was just shocked like I said I had my fill done 5 weeks ago and only just now am I feeling the restriction from it

Aww thank you Victoriana I feel so much better now knowing that others experience it and that it's the norm.. I am so glad I didn't get another fill otherwise I would have been doomed lol. Could the weather play any kind of part with my band? Because it has been really hot here lately ???

Hi phatty,

I think the time of the month has something to do with tightness. It was about a week ago and three days before my periods I could not get anything down for the whole day. It slowly subsided after a few days. It was really hard to handle at times.. Just a thought.....

Best wishes

Hmmm not wanting to go into to much information... I finished my period a couple of days before this started... So I will keep that in mind hopefully I don't have to go through this every month

Thanks jane73
