Well its been a while since I've checked in here. I received my second fill last week and finally am feeling some restriction. 6cc to date. I haven't seen anyone post a similar question, so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms. Since my last fill, I feel a slight pressure in my throat glands (tonsils?) some sinus pressure, sometimes minor headaches. I don't believe I'm coming down with a cold. This is not a feeling which is painful or worrisome, just curious if maybe the restriction on the upper stomach will cause some pressure to these other areas. These say the eyes, ears and throat are all connected. I am now three months post op. Have not lost any more weight since my initial Optifast diet, however now that I am eating so much less I'm sure that this will change, I hope anyway. I know I am not following the rules though, need to get to the gym and quit with the Xmas baking.

Well it looks to me like you are loosing weight. Remember, the turtle wins the race. Go slow and easy, focus on changing your eating habits, exercise and the weight will come off. I am the turle and have been loosing .85 lbs per week since February. But my eating habits are changing that is my goal. Hope you meet yours. Merry Christmas Doddie

I felt those same symptoms after my fill last week but I'm definitely coming down with a cold. I've felt miserable all weekend.
