Thanks Donna, you of course are right and I am paying dearly for this one, feels like a knot in the center of my chest that doesn't always hurt but is very aggravating. Unfortunately for me it is snowing here, supposed to change to freezing rain shortly. Dr Klein suggested if it got too uncomfortable I should go to Humber's emerg. Dr Starr is on this weekend, or I could go on Monday to see Dr Hagen as Dr Klein is at another hospital and won't be in till Wed. Anyhow it is supposed to be lousy tomorrow too so I am gonna have to wait till Wed. It came on so fast I just home I haven't aggravated something else in there. I am using an antacid, figured it cant hurt. At least I know that it sure does the job of restricting and making you damn uncomfortable if you don't respect it. I get some relief if I stay bent over or stand up really straight and take deep breaths....but it isn't comfortable.:phanvan

Well hi all! I had my second fill and man am I paying for it right now:cry. Of course when I got home, I was starving, so I had chicken and a wee bit of potato...well I paid all night, barfed about 6 times, soooooooo sore. Of course dummy me should have remembered to go lightly after a fill but oh no, I couldn't do that so now I pay. Still feels like a golf ball in my chest,I am eating pureed stuff and Soup can't manage much else. Talked to my doctor, I am going to see him on Wed. again, likely need a small :speechlesdefill. I am only up to 4cc but for some reason, that for now isn't working for me. I had 3 he just put in 1 cc. Figures he might have to take out 1/2 cc. But I am hoping if I stay away from most stuff for a couple of days to let my pouch heal from the torture I put it through on Thurs night, it might be kind and be okay. Any suggestions anyone? Anybody else ever had this kind of problem. I have to go to Toronto for my doctor and no one up here in good old Lindsay at least in the hospital here would have a clue what the heck to do, so I shall wait, unless it gets so uncomfortable that I have to drive to Humber river almost 2 hour drive to get relief, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it till Wed. and hopefully beyond that with no defill.

I have PBed 3-4 times but I know it is because I have eaten too fast and too big a bite. But it hurts....ALOT when you get that golf ball feeling. and I hate that the saliva seems to pour into my throat, felt sick but didnt throw up...someone told me papaya enzyme works well, when I feel like something is stuck I grab one and chew it, it helps to break down the food really fast and thank god it does.

:clap2:Thank god there is someone else feeling this way. I got my first fill on Thursday this past week. The doctor put in 4 cc and then I drank some Water, it felt like it was getting stuck so he took out 1 cc. I feel the same as you do, I don't get that full feeling at least I don't think I do, I have come close to pbing a couple of times, get alot of pain in the middle of my chest, through to my back....if I didn't chew enough, but other than that I feel hungry like normal. I just got my band on May 22nd so I am still new and worry that there is something wrong....anyone with ANY input would be great, I agree:help: Sue
