What are the signs of being to tight?

Well where should I start? With in the last 2 weeks I have noticed that I have to be very cautious of what I eat and have to eat even slower then I did before. I had my surgery on November 4th and have lost about 65lbs with no fill. I am eating small bites and chewing pretty well. With in the last 2 weeks or so I noticed when eating I have lots and lots of gas that wants to come up after taking a bite of food. I have to really wait between bites to be able to get the burps out so that the food doesn't come back up. I have been able to eat some food with success and some with no success. As far as liquids they go down but I still feel sometimes it may come back up but for the most it goes down.

I do have a digestive problem where I don't pass as much gas as most people but did not have this burping problem till a few weeks ago. When I went in for my last visit I met some guy who said after never having a fill for the first 4 months he had to go in to get a unfill. After the unfill he was ok and then was back the day I met him to get his first fill. That is the reason I think that maybe it may have gotten to tight. I do know that at this point I have 3cc in since surgery according to the doc. Let me know what your thoughts are.

Most people who are too tight experience a lot of PBing and sometimes acid reflux at night. Since you've lost 65lbs, it may be that your band adjusted a little. I would talk to your surgeon and ask for some advice. Something as small as a .2-.5cc unfill can change the world.

What exactly is PBing? Is that productive burping? If so why do they call it productive. Thanks for the reply Reverie.

Yes PB = productive. It's productive because it usually happens after taking too big of a bite and in the end the food usually comes back up because it isn't able to pass through the band.

Well that sounds like what I might have going on. Well I may have to call the doc to see what I can do about it. Thanks everyone for the replies.
