Thank you so much!! I've never had acid reflux and was trying to figure out what was going on since I don't really have any of the other problems. I have no problems at night, it starts up in the morning and gets worse as the day progresses but does not interfere with anything. The only uncomfortable problem is the bubbles just hanging out in my throat. I'm glad I'm not alone. I will give it a week or so! Thanks again!

I think I am experiencing this also. I had my first fill last Thursday and everything seemed fine. Over the weekend I kept getting what felt like bubbles coming up in my throat when I swallowed, I felt as there was force pushing it back up so I couldn't get a good swallow down. Well as of yesterday, It has been non-stop. It feels like I have a swollen thyroid or something? I am able to drink water, eat with no problem. I have not vomited or PB. So I'm not sure what is going on?

I am so sorry for you! That sounds terrible!!
I had my fill yesterday too at 2:45...it was more like 3:15 when Dr. S actually got into the room. A quick 5 minutes later, I was walking out. It didn't hurt at all...and I don't know how much I got. He said he fills until he feels a back pressure, then goes a little more. He said the volume doesn't matter. He's the Dr...but it's so hard NOT to compare what he's doing (or not doing) with what others on this forum are experiencing.
I don't really feel any different...do you? The only thing I noticed is that this morning when I was drinking my protien shake, I could feel in sitting around the band & slowly draining. It was just there, not noticeable uncomfortable or anything.

Hi there! Sorry, I haven't gotten back to you. I went in for my first fill today at 1:15. It was awful. Apparently, he had to do an adjustment to the port with the needles!! It hurt so bad and he didn't numb the area. He said this was a one time adjustment so I don't know. On the bright side, I did get a fill and now I am up to 5cc. So we shall see how it goes. How are you doing?? I bet you we missed each other again. LOL!

I was banded two days ago and just started having very uncomfortable pain. I'm assuming it's trapped gas. I feel like I can't get a complete breath and It hurts every time I breathe in. The incisions ache a bit but are fine, but this pain is killing me. I've tried everything I can think of. It feels like when you eat way too much food and you're miserable and can't burp. I've burped a few times but It still feels like bubbles coming up but I can't get them out. I'm only on liquids so I know there's no food trapped in my stomach. I don't know if this is heartburn or gas since I've never had either. Is this normal?? What can I do to relieve the gas??:thumbup:
