I have had my band about 1 1/2 years. I currently only have a small fill (2or3 cc), however, I seem to have a constant pressure in the middle of my chest no matter what I eat or drink. I went back to eating mostly a liquid diet, and I have noticed I can not even drink much Water. Has this ever happened to anyone, and how should I handle it? I have lost almost 60 lbs., but I am becoming extremely frustrated with my lap band - - and am ready to "chuck it". I feel like I never feel good anymore! Help!!:cursing::wub:

I would go back and see your Dr. He/she needs to check that everything is still OK.

I'm having the exact same problem. I got a fill last Tuesday, then two days of liquid and now that I am eating solid food again I am not able to eat or drink anything without it feeling like something is in the way in the middle of my chest. It hurts like crazy when I swallow something. I am even having to drink something to try to get the food down. It hurts bad. I hope that it will work itself out but my husband says to go and get some of the liquid taken out again. It's a good weight loss system to not be able to eat anything. lol. Just not going to be something that I can do long term. It hurts too much.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
