Hi All!

Just checking in here, looking for a little "yes, that's normal" feedback. I had my fifth adjustment yesterday afternoon around 4pm. I was at 8cc in my 14cc band and had 2 cc added, now at 10cc. Before this adjustment, I would experience restrictive eating but was not staying full in between meals and my portion sizes were getting larger, a good indicator that it was time for an adjustment. Yesterday's adjustment was very different from the others and I have not experienced this sensation before. I feel a slight tightness sensation and I'm feeling very burpy. liquids are going down and I'm not having a hard time swallowing. I drank two dixie cups of Water before I let myself leave docs office. I'll be on full liquids for the next 48 hours. Last evening I had an Atkins Protein shake and was done for the night. Today, I had my morning coffee, and then about 30 minutes later started to sip on another Protein Shake. I tried eating a little bit of Soup about 1.5 hours after the shake and got a solid case of hiccups. Honestly, I'm still satisfied from the shake, which is freaking me out a little bit. I've been spending the morning scouring websites about whether or not the band is too tight. However, I don't have any of the classic symptoms like coughing, reflux, etc. Has anyone experienced a post adjustment tightness that freaked them out at first but eventually went away? I can definitely say I'm experiencing a satiation that I have not experienced before. Usually, the 48 hours after an adjustment was hangry hell. Can anyone speak from experience of post adjustment tightness?

Thanks!

Agreed. If things are right, there shouldn't be discomfort. I had half a cc removed. Hardly any. But that tiny amount has made all the difference.
