I had a small fill on 12/12- my first 1.2cc now I have not noticed it did much restriction since then- not that I really know what it is. However the last two days when eating at dinner I got a severe tighntess in my chest- no throwing up or sliming but I ate some gas ex immediatly and was able to have lots of burps. It happened again this morning too. Am I eating too fast? What is happening? Is it possible my restriction is just now showing up? TIA

Andrea, It took me about 4 days after my first fill to feel the restriction, and even then it was ver minimal. You very well may be eating to fast or still be taking to large of bites. I have noticed that if I take 1 bit to my daughters 3 it is about the correct ration of speed for MY body. Just take it easier and dont be in a hugh rush to get taht tight feeling...it really is not fun!!

My fills always took about three weeks to make themselves felt. It is indeed possible that what you're feeling is restriction, and it's telling you to SLOW DOWN. Eat smaller bites and take three or four deep breaths between bites, and you'll get the hang of this. Good luck!
