Fist Stuck In My Throat?? What Is That All About????

OMG! I just had my first fill and right after the doc put in 4 cc in my 10 cc ap band, i couldn't swollow water! It was gurgling in my throat and he could hear it from across the room. He immediately laid me down, poked me (no, this is not a cheap romance novel..((i couldn't resist!! haha))) and took out 1 cc....then the water went down..but it didn;t go down super easy. That was on a monday...I could not drink water comfortably until Thursday (almost a week later, i can drink liquids except carbonated things). I talked with the nurse and she said to take smaller sips and not to have real cold liquids.

...so, i would really like some answers from you more experienced bandsters...1st..why do I feel an occasional ball in my throat immediately with a gulp of water or a chunk of food (even happened with a bite of banana). why in my throat vs my stomach?? why is there a restriction in the back of my throat?? that just makes no sense to ma at all!!! (somethimes if i can understand something, I can deal with it)..

I can eat a whole baked potato right now..when i am at my most restricted...how much of that potato could i eat at one setting? (just to give me an idea of the changes i am in for) thanks!!:kiss2:
