Congestion After Fill and no weight loss

[punketts82gt 0]

I had a small fill last month and now my weight loss has stopped and I seem to have a considerable amout on congestion after I eat. After eating a small amount I sometimes have to cough to get the congestion out of the way. Since being banded in January I have never been sick but since my last fill I have has a few times I thought that I would be sick but only clear looking flem (sorry) will come up and after it clears I feel fine. Am I too tight or is this normal? My weight loss has stalled since the fill!

When do you start getting congested? Only after you eta, or while you are eating? And how much can you eat at a meal? How long is it after you eat that you start to feel hungry again?

I did not get congested at all before the last fill and most of the time its after I start eating I usually have to stop and cough. As far as eating I measure my food most of the time and sometimes I cannot finish it. I am not getting hungry after this last fill. Before I was getting hungry a couple of hours after I ate but I lost 6 pounds for my check up.

Getting congested might be your boodies silent signal that you are "full. Everyone has different signs. It could be you've hit a platuea(sp?). It happens. Are you getting any excersize in at all. If you are, try swicthing up what you do. shake up your routine. To me it doesn't sound like you need a fill,but I'm not a Dr, so who knows.

I am getting some exercise, but not what I would like to get. I can change that up. I am wondering if I have a little too much since my last fill since the weight loss has stopped. I have an appointment Next Tuesday so I will ask then...thanks

Just wanted to pipe in here and say that I too get congested while I eat and have to stop eating and cough up mucus. I do believe the other poster is correct that it is our signal that we've eaten enough. I haven't had a fill in over a year, the congestion has only been going on for a few months now. I see my surgeon next week and plan to ask this same question.

Doc said that I might be a little on the tight side. Gonna wait a month and see how I do unless I have a problem before that.

I'm having an endoscopy this afternoon because I've developed intense pain in my chest area. Will update later.

My endoscopy showed that I have an ulcerated esophagus. The endoscopy is unable to diagnose a slipped band so I have to go back for an upper G.I. x-ray to check my bands position, but the doctor thinks the ulcer is causing my pain and the other issues and that my band is probably fine.
