How long ago since you had a fill ?

Sounds like acid reflux , I would call your doc.

You might be too tight and its causing acid reflux or you might have acid reflux. either way your doc needs a call.

Not enough info. Are you newly banded? Did you just have a fill? I feel you should ask your doc this question. God bless. Patty

I had this feeling too with tight restriction. It was just uncomfortable, but not painful. It was definitely a feeling of pressure or of being slightly swollen. Having a slight unfill makes the issue go away.

I agree it could be from being too tight. But i also agree we could use some more info .

Well it looks like you were banded January 2008, so you are not new. If you had a recent fill, this could be causing the issue. You might want to go to fluids for 24-hours. However, if fluids are giving you a problem, I would be calling the doctor.

I was banded jan 2008 (indicated in my sig)...had a fill jan 5th this year of .5cc with a total of 7.5 cc in 14cc band...I am eating fine...no real probs eating yesterday. I cant eat solids until lunch...liquids for breakfast. I have good restriction. I didnt have any pain yesterday no probs before I went to bed.

I dont take anything for reflux but I'll start.

My guess is its reflux in which you still need to call your doc. this can casue your band problem . I would call him before you take anything for it as well .

Good luck let us know what happens
