Hi there -

I have a struggled with inconsistent tightness for a while and have discussed it with my doctor who just shrugged. However, the last few days it seems to have increased a bit. I am now burping, not little burps, but loud, deep ones, hiccuping, and having a hard time keeping things down. It seems to start around lunchtime and lasts through about midnight. Today, all I had was some juice and a Protein drink for Breakfast, liquids all morning, and then at lunch I ate a piece of laughing cow cheese, one bite of sliced turkey and one bite of cracker. It started with pressure and pain, then got to the point that I had to leave a meeting to PB. It has been continuing. I tried some pineapple juice ... no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks.

If you were pbing today, you may actually be little tighter if you have some swelling from the pbing. Try going on liquids only tomorrow. If Saturday you reintroduce food (make sure you take small bites and chew well) and it happens again, I would probably go request a slight unfill. You don't want this to continue and get worse. Good Luck

I think the hiccuping and burping just come with it. I get aweful hiccups almost every meal. And my hubby makes fun of me cuz I burp more than he does! But it does sound like you may be a little too tight.

i have been where you are....

i think maybe you should go for an unfil...

as for the hiccups and burping... that comes with the band. i believe everyone experiences that. good luck!! :tongue:

Well, it got worse and I ended up in the ER for dehydration and an emergency unfill on Sunday. I talked to the doctor on Friday and they thought I could wait until Monday ... that turned out not be accurate. :tongue:
