is this normal??

Wow, there are SO many surgeons doing this surgery who are just failing miserably to support their patients.

I'm glad you're finally feeling that you can work with your band. It does take a certain degree of understanding and commitment - nothing that is beyond the average person, but when your doctor doesnt provide you with the basics it makes it very hard!

totally agree! they had you a stack of papers and tell you all you need to know is here. If it weren't for sites like this, there'd be alot of lost people out there!

I personally would get a different doc. One who will take time with u. My doc spent 3 hours with me my first pre op visit!!! And most of the time he is behind schedule because he loves his patients and wants the best for them. I am sorry r going through this. I am newly banded so that is the only advice I have. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Could someone please explain PB, sliming etc. I was interested also in the comment about the heaviness in the chest. Since my last fill I have felt this after about 4 bites of food. I usually wait until the feelings pass and eat more to complete my one cup of food. I would appreciate comments from those of you who feel restriction. How does this feel.

I was banded about 3 years ago and then stopped the follow up due to family issues. I went back for a fill three days ago and I have never felt this way in the past. I burp LOTS and even Water seems to stay in my stomach for a bit of time. Is this normal???
