So I also had my first fill on Tuesday 3cc in. Today at lunch I was eating something I knew I shouldn't, but it was going down ok, and then BAM the pain hit. So I stood up in the middle of the restaurant and did a little dance trying to get it to go down... Nope. I then excused myself to the restroom and walked around trying to decide what to do. I bent of the commode and nothing happened. The pain was pretty bad at this point. I walked around for another minute then felt a burp coming. i went back into the stall and almost with no effort I had my first PB. I though it was pretty cool.

Of course maybe I learned a little lesson in the process.

I have had no more incidents, but it seams I am experiencing a lot of pain when things get stuck. I am curious if this is a pain I am going to have to deal with from now on? After a minute or two the food goes down, I remember to chew more, and life goes on. When the proper restriction is reached is this pain still a daily part of life?

Make sure the first few bites you take are very small, very well chewed and go slow in between the first few bites. I find that if I start off very slow things get better after the first few bites. It's almost like I have to jump start (or warm up)the stoma to accept food.

Everytime I got stuck, it was becasue I started off too fast or didn;t chew well enough.

I have not had a PB yet. I have had that pain but it always go down. I just got another fill today so I better be more careful, just in case!!
