Sore throat and slow moving food.

Okay... I've had 1 fill which was done Feb 18th. For the first 2 weeks after the fill I experienced no restriction and actually gained weight. Last Saturday I ate a large Breakfast and was not hungry and had no urge to eat for about 7 hours after I'd finished breakfast. This past Monday I got on the scale for the first time in several days and discovered that I was down several pounds. Later that day I noticed that I had a sore throat and the feeling of everything I ate/drank going down slowly. Nothing is getting stuck and nothing really is coming back up... just feels like it's going down slow. I did have one experience in the last couple days where a bite of something got stuck in my throat and wouldn't go down or come back up. I can't pin point that the timing matches exactly with the start of my sore throat, but I would say that now when I swallow it hurts at the top of my throat when it first starts going down, but then once it's passed that first spot in my throat it doesn't hurt anymore.

I'm scheduled for my second fill this coming Monday and now I don't know what to think. I was going to go in there and demand they give me an adequate fill to compensate for having no restriction since the first fill, but I sure as heck don't want to get overfilled and have to go back for an unfill.

Anybody have any idea what is going on?

the sore throat is mystifying. the other things you mention just sound like you've got some good restriction going. I'd go ahead and keep your appt and discuss the sore throat symptoms with your doctor or his nurse. If you do opt for a fill, make sure it's a tiny one!

It sounds to me like you are eating too much and irritating your esophagus. That happened to me after my last fill when I was still adjusting to eating less.
