Band seems tight about 3 weeks after fill

[bibu1961 0]

Has any one had difficulty with feeling tight about 3 weeks after a fill?

I had abut 1/2 cc fill almost a month ago and it worked like a charm. I thought I was at my sweet spot.

But then I got my period and I had the worst heartburn and gas. I started taking omeprazole and it helped a little. Now after my cycle I started feeling great so I stopped the omeprazole. Now today I can hardly eat, everything gets stuck. I feel gassy (sp) but not the heartburn.

Any insight would be great!:thumbup:

Not exactly insight but I had my third fill about three weeks ago and I feel like everyday I don't know what I will get- some I am so tight I can only do liquids at first and others I can eat a lot more...

Went to doctor today. My band was very restricted and caused swelling and a little pouch stretching. Complete unfill and meds for 2 weeks. Good thing I didn't wait too long to see him.

I will be glad when this is over. :thumbup:

My band also feels tighter after 2-3 weeks of getting a fill. I don't get it, it seems like we should see a little relief.
