hello i got banded i got banded a week ago i do not have a fill in my question is sometimes after i drink liquids a little white later it really starts hurting in my chest esophagus area. Can liquids still get stuck even though i haven't had a fill?

Thanks

Hey Andy,

what you feel after 7 days and what you will feel at 5 weeks when you are basically healed is night/day difference.

I don't think liquids can get stuck..but i suppose if you are swollen enough you could be blocked in which case you would probably burp it all up.

Honestly what your describing sounds more like irritation, swelling, etc which will eventually go away.

I bet if you call your docs office and describe it they will put you at ease..or have you come in.

I have had liquids get stuck. I have to start the day with hot water when I am tight, and drink very small sips. If you are tight or swollen even water can come back up if you drink too fast. Also, if I have to burp after drinking it can feel like it was stuck too.
