Hair Ball

Does anyone else feel like they have a hair ball stuck in the back of their throat every time they eat?? It's so annoying...happens after I take 2-3 bites. I stop eating of course, and then it takes about 30 minutes for the feeling to go away. Sometimes if goes away quicker when I walk around or burp.

Sounds like possible reflux. You should talk with your doctor & let him/her know. Possibly you're too tight, or you need to take something like Prilosec? I would definitely check it out. I have had that feeling, and for me, it's acid.

What mrsto said is correct give your doc a call. Seems like things are not going down all the way and/or coming back up.

I love the hairball reference though!

I like the reference too! Never thought of it that way - LOL

definitely you are too tight...go in and have them take a little out and see if that helps. I am on my 2nd round of being too tight and had the same feelings. (I let mine go too long and had swelled so bad from it had to have a complete unfill for a month again...aarrgghh...so am trying to maintain the weight gain as much as possible but it is hard being back to square 1 again) If you feel that lump in your throat etc...it is because you are too tight and the food is sitting on the top of your band not going thru. A slight unfill should help as you dont want food sitting there. Eventually it will lead to "acid" type issues which can be dangerous too.

I am wondering the same thing. I just got my fill Saturday. I am only comfortable eating chicken broth and a little bit of oatmeal. I just worry I will get an unfill and be hungry like I was before.

No, can't say that I do.
