Too tight or just swollen

I finally went back to my doctor after around 2 years of not having a fill. He filled me under fluro and said everything looks good. He put maybe 1/4 cc in there then because he said the band was pretty full. That was 2 months ago. Last Friday, I woke up and had some tightness in my stomach and Water would just gurgle down, and there would be a slight pain with solids. It got to the point where if I extended my stomach out, which I do to help my food go down, it would shoot a pain through my neck. A week later, and it is still happening. I'm getting stuck more, still slight pain when I swallow solids for the first time after not eating for a few hours, feeling of tightness/pressure in my stomach. Neck and shoulder pain.

I have been having sinus headaches so not sure if it is related to that or if I'm too tight or if it's trapped gas (I haven't been using the bathroom as well recently). I had a slipped band years ago so it concerns me when something like this happens. It might be too tight, but it's weird that it took 2 months for it to happen so that's why I'm asking here. Not having reflux or anything like I had when it had slipped.

If you are having migraines it could tighten your band. Maybe get a little fluid out until migraines go away. See how it goes. Keep us updated!
