Uncomfortable Feeling

I am about 6 weeks away from my revision surgery. I am sitting here at my desk two hours after lunch, feeling miserable. All I had was about 2oz of ground turkey with about 1/4 cup of greenbeans. It is stuck and is such a horrible feeling of pressure. This is nothing new, I have had this pressure feeling frequently, usually after eating protein. My question is: do you still have this pressure in your chest (that nothing will go down) with the sleeve?

Yes, that's my new full. Pressure in the chest that feels like something heavy is sitting on me.

Not me, no pressure, full is just full. Kind of like thanksgiving dinner if I don't measure and them

try to take one more bite.

How tight is your band maybe release most of what's still in there and or get it all out. I helped me quite a bit when I did that

I have had all the fluid out if my band for a couple of months. It is prolapsed (second time). My revision is scheduled for 9/11. I was hoping that after I had healed from sleeve surgery that I wouldn't have that same pain in my chest when I ate.

I am having the same miserable feeling and my band is not prolapsed I do not have heartburn or GERD by any means but because of that and my stomach problems since having my band unfilled I have been put on prescription PPI like dexilant or pantoprazole famotidine and carafate liquid 4X a day

I am finally on a all carb diet per my PCP until surgery
