Ok, so at my last checkup I was at 3.5cc's and actually was experiencing the PB's so based on my qty. amounts (to eat), etc. my doctor decided not to put any more it. So over the past month, I've had more and more PB's to the point now where almost anything solid I eat (this includes oatmeal & grits!) feels stuck and I end up coughing it all up. I'm going in on Thurs as an "emergency" visit since I am only able to tolerate liquids (even ice cream gave me trouble and that was a "last resort" food). I've never had this much restriction before and although I mentally like the idea of not being able to eat, I know I still need to be able to. I don't want to get used to only being on a liquid diet this far out (Banded June 9th). Anyone else going through this? I get freaked out that something has happened to my band. :biggrin:

When you PB, do you go on liquids for the rest of the day? If you don't, you risk getting irritated and then nothing stays down.

Also, try pumping fluids big time for a few days. Dehydration can lead to a tighter band.

Thanks! I did both of your suggestions and they did help some. I ended up getting .6 cc's removed yesterday and feel worlds better! Not sure what happened but I'm able to eat solids again and still have good restriction. Still love this band!!!
