Weird Sensation After A Fill

I went in for a fill today and everything was fine all day.... A little while ago I had something (can't remember what) and got this weird sensation in the middle of my chest (kinda between my b@@s)

Just now, I took 1/2 of a sleeping pill with some cold tea and I feel the same sensation. It's like a burning sensation... But not of "fire", its more like what you feel when you eat a York Peppermint patty.

Has anyone felt this after a fill? There's no pain, and it doesn't really bother that much. It's just WEIRD.

Your band is in the middle of your chest, so if you got a fill today, it's probably swelling....cold tea will further tighten the band too.

Things to look for after a recent fill is reflux and extreme heartburn or burping are signals that you are too tight or something is wrong, and obviously vomiting.

If you were able to get down cold tea, you are probably good to go, I would take it easy and make sure my sips of liquids are very teeny and not gulping.

And again, if you continue to have uncomfortable sensations call your surgeons office.

If it were me, I would not drink cold liquids along with pills, I made that mistake a few years ago and the cold Water tighten my band and the pill got stuck and I ended up in the ER from work, I will never do that again as long as I have a band.

Mmmmm, I hope it's swelling.

I'll stuck to warm liquids for tomorrow. Thanks, NaNa

Yes this is typical for me 5-6 days after a fill.

After about a week or so after a fill i can swallow any Vitamin with cold or hot beverages and i feel nothing at all.

Let your doctor know if this feeling doesnt go away after awhile.

If it doesnt you may have very well reached the Green Zone.
