Can your stomach become swollen? Painful?

I think I overate A LOT this past 4th of July weekend. Since Monday it has become painful when I eat and foods aren't going down very well. I haven't had a fill in a while and I was doing great with solids till just recently. I've been banded since March 25th and never had any problems like this except for when I was too tight and had to have an unfill.

Your stomach can swell especially if you PB alot. You should go on liquids for a couple of days and let the swelling go down..................been there done that!!

Yep you can swell your stomach and that can make the band tighter. Just be gentle to your stomach for a few days and swelling should go down.

The band can also get tight if you gain weight!!

Be careful and gentle with your band and it should be fine.

Thanks! I will do that. I've gained a little weight back after my unfill, but it is only about 3 or 4 pounds.
