A stuck episode seems to come from the sternum area. Maybe you got something stuck? Most stuck episodes take care of themselves in a few hours though. Can you swallow Water?

Hi mrse! I am about 7.5 weeks since surgery. Like you, I've had one fill. Strangely, after the fill, I felt like I had less restriction than before. I too, am being very disciplined. Watching calories. Going to the gym. I'm losing around 3 pounds per week. I'm very happy with that and I feel good about the food I'm putting in my body.

Lately I'm wondering what exactly am I/should I be looking for from my band? I would like to not be hungry between meals. At this point, I have learned to ignore hunger and try to stick to my three meals a day. Sometimes not successfully.

I'm nervous my doc won't want to give me a fill because I'm losing so well. And I know I would be ok because right now I have willpower. I worry about down the road...

Sorry to hear about your pains. Could it be exercise related? When I started running I would always get what they call a "stitch in my side."
