Where is your port area ? Do any of you incisions have any red around them, if so draw a circle around it and see if the red area gets bigger. Are they warm to touch ? If the answer is yes to either of the red or warm you may have an infection and will need a antibotic. I would call the doctors answering service they should have a doctor taht would be able to call in something. GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS

Thanks for the input.

I would like input on how you interrupt the feeling when you hit your sweet spot. I don’t want to confuse it with being to tight. What I am experiencing is a huge reduction in serving size. I can eat maybe 1 ½ Boneless chicken wing from Applebee’s before I get the full feeling in my throat. Is this the sweet spot or is this too tight. :confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2:

As long as you didnt have problems dont worry, but dont push it while the band is healing. You dont want to PB at this time because it could cause a slip.

I do the same and it has not been a problem for me either.

No problems for me either and I only have the free membership

After my last fill I had the same issues. I thought my stomach was grumpy from the fill. It lasted a few more days and i also had some issues with stuck food and PBing. Was about to call the doc and the feeling went away. Hope this is what happens to you since that fill i have very good restriction.

Went back to coffee in about two to three weeks.

I also get that right there feeling with a lot of things now. If I choose to leave the fill where it is ,how long might this last. Will I see a weight loss if i leave it alone. This is something I could live with for a while if I had to.

I have had similar problems. I find that if I have to throw up from the food that for the next day or two I have problems. I am only assuming that I have irratated my pouch and that’s the reason I can’t eat right.

My doc did not put any in at surgery and would not for 6 weeks. He is following the ALLERGAN guidelines and they seemed to be working for me. He reminded me this is a marathon and not a sprint.
