It seems like everytime I put something in my stomach I get this tight feeling, not like a restricted feeling bc I have nothing in my band but like a bloated feeling.....then I burp and it happens everytime. Is that normal or is it just something that happens to us bandsters??? Anyone come up with a way to decrease it a bit??

Hi:

It's possible to have restriction from postop swelling. I suggest that you slow down the size of your bites or sips and chew chew chew, just like a bandster that has restriction.

Hope this helps!

I love my band and my new flat tummy!
