I got a slight unfill yesterday because I was having problems eating where "everything" got stuck so I thought maybe I was too tight. The doctor agreed so he took .3 cc's out. Everything has been going down perfectly since then, but almost immediately after my unfill, I had a lump feeling in my chest. It kind of feels like a pill or bubblegum is stuck but I hadn't eaten anything. This feeling has been there non-stop for about 24 hours. I am positive there is nothing stuck. It's not really painful but it is uncomfortable. I don't know what it is. It is right between the middle of my breasts and my throat. Has anyone else felt this or does anyone know why it is there? Thanks so much.

Did you tell your doctor about it when he did the unfill? If so, what did he say? If not, maybe you should call and tell him about it?

Well, I didn't feel the lump until 15-20 minutes after I left the doc's office. I thought maybe it would go away. Since I felt it all day today, I decided to call her. She said it was where fluid/food was sitting in the band. I told her that it was quite a bit higher than that and I have never felt it before. So she said if everything is going down fine, then it is something non-band related and I need to see my PCP. But I am sure this is related to it. I mean, what else could it be immediately after seeing her?

Well, it didn't happen immediately, it was 20 minutes .. and you hadn't eaten anything immediately post banding, so the timing could just be a coincidence. But it could also be gas or some type of erosion, heart burn, a spasm, many things! I'd call my PCP and have him/her at least check me out; then you can go back to the surgeon if necessary.
