I was banded on 8 Oct 07, and my first fill was not until 1/7/08 ( doc's rules)...anyway ive noticed that in the last 2 days i've had a burning cramping feeling around my band area,and yeaterday it was accpmpanied by a burning sensation in my throat, so bad i left work early, its fine if iam not eating, but after i eat, the pain is there for at least an hour. Has anyone had any of these symptoms before? or maybe no what it's caused from, or is this the long awaited restriction i've heard so much about?

Hmm. Check with your doctor. With my restriction, if I eat too quickly I will get the slightest pain in my throat as a early warning. If I continue to eat it turns into "chest pain" and ultimately a "productive burp" where I can bring up a little bit of food and lots of air.

trapped..that is exactly what happens with me...lately too often, but i do get a burning sensation around my band first. but then i know it's time to go to the bathroom.

i've yet to figure out what my soft stop sign is...instead i find that by the time i realize i'm full, i'm pb'ing.

Since this last fill.. I have pain with almost anything I eat. Bread is out, white meat chicken is out, also found out last night cucumbers are out. I think it may have been the skin on the cucumber but I thought it would never go down. Plus does anyone else get hiccups nearly every time they eat?:cursing:

free..

if i get the hicupps, it is too late, i've eaten too much, and some of it is coming up.

i've been doing that every time i eat lately (i don't know what my deal is, i don't feel anything until it's too late).
