I was banded on March 24th & for the most part everything has been going well. About three weeks ago I started getting this pain in my chest, right where your sternum is. It's like a real heavy feeling, like pressure. It's really painful and sometimes it travels all the way up into the top of my throat. It's not constant, but when it happens it takes my breathe away. Has anyone experienced this?

Does it happen before or after you eat? What you are describing is either gas, restriction or swelling. I would go to your surgeon and tell him.

Hi I just got my 3rd fill yesterday, I was banded 2/27. I got another 2 CCs and I feel much more restriction this time. I have the feeling like I have something in my throat and the same pain you describe in the chest. I have to wait until Monday to call my doc, so I'm hoping it starts to go away. I can swallow food and water OK and I'm not throwing up so I'm thinking it just might be swelling.
