Ok, so now I am SO confused. My restriction has always felt like an uncomfortable, very slightly painful tightness in my stomach, when I am full. I mean, that and the hiccups have ALWAYS been my stopping notice. Since my last (3rd) fill, I don't get that feeling at ALL. I was feeling like I could eat non-stop. Now, I am noticing this tightness in my throat whenever I eat. It isn't like reflux, and it doesn't hurt. It is like the "golf ball" I have heard others talk about. I understand that, even at almost a yr out, there is STILL a learning curve with the band. Can this new feeling be my new stop signal? I am confused. I just ate two sandwich squares of American cheese (not the best choice, but I did it anyway). I got that feeling in my throat as soon as I was done with the second piece. I don't know what to think. What do you guys think?

I am having the same problem. I think it is because we eat to fast.

I think it is because we eat to fast.

I was going ot say the same thing, I usually get that feeling when I eat too fast between bites and do not chew properly and Iam 13 months out. Also somedays my fill level is tighter then other days which I know affects this.
