Banded 28 Sep 07- the swallowed pill feeling

JuniorCounsel · October 4, 2007

Hey y'all

I was banded almost a week ago and have been perfect with the exception of gas:eek: but have continually had the swallowed pill feeling. I am on full liquids at this stage so it isn't stuck food! Is this normal? I would like to hear others experiences with this!

Cheers, Lindy JC

HI LINDY CONGRATS ON JOINING THE BANDWAGON:clap2: I KNOW THE FEELING YOU DESCRIBE I TOO HAD IT I FELT AS THOUGH I HAD SOMETHING STUCK IN MY THROAT AND ALSO RIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF MY CHEST AND LIKE YOU I WAS ON liquids SO KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.

I WAS TOLD BY MY DOC IT WAS JUST THE BAND SETTLING IN AND IT WOULD SOON GO AND SURE ENOUGH IT DID PASS.

SO DON,T WORRY ABOUT IT JUST RELAX AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE:whoo: GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY.

Yup, totally normal. Later on, that is what some people say is their feeling of restriction, the golfball or marble feeling.

Thanks goodness, I am not the only one!!! I was banded the same day and I too have the same problem along with gas. I wouldn't wish gas pain on my worst enemy.
