HI guys banded 10/11/13/ Liquids aka water was going down good n meds...however today had protein drinks n pureed soup. I noticed my chest has a pressure and uncomfortable...like I need to burp now after some fluids. I did have a hernia repair. I am walking and walked a half mile tonight. Stomach was growling I mental wasn't hungry so I had a couple sips of protein drink aka muscle milk lite. Trued to sleep but pressure is too bother some. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

How long did the pressure last? If I drink too much too fast sometimes I feel pressure in my chest from the liquid not going down yet. My surgeon said the band is right in center of your chest at the end of your esophagus. Try drinking smaller sips. If it lasts longer than a few minutes, call your dr.

Thanks it goes away....I will decrease my drink amt n tyme

I was banded the same day and i had that problem a day ago. I think i just ate my soup too fast. I also make sure to take my gas-x and eat slow! Good luck!
