I had a fill on the 28th of August and since then (until a couple of days ago) I didn't really feel any more restriction than before. Just yesterday I had a quarter of a hamburger. Chewed well (I thought). Had terrible pain in chest for 15 minutes or so. Next day (today actually), I had 2 very small swedish meatballs and proceeded to get pain and then actually vomited a small amount. Mostly liquid. (I know, gross). Tonight, I ate a small piece of chx...I have been eating this chx because of its moistness...never had a problem before. I got that terrible pain and vomited again. Is is the band talking or maybe just intolerance to hamburger and (OH NO) chx. I think I chewed ok. I ate cantelope earlier with no problem. Refried Beans go down fine. HMMMMM. What do you experienced bandsters think?

I am also a newly banded person, but my guess is you didnt chew as well as you thought. Also, canteloupe is not an easily digested food, maybe the problem actually started with that? I dont know the correct answer, just my guess.

It often takes a fill a while to "set in" so my guess is boop, you've got restriction. This happened to me as well. Got a fill. No problem. A week later...first PB. Go REALLY slowly and chew REALLY well. Even more than you are already. TINY bites. Welcome to restriction!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
