How would i know if my band is to tight?

[Beth A 28]

Just got 3 rd fill, worried that it maybe to tight?

[2muchfun 8,927]

Why are you worried?

[Beth A 28]

I don't know, I just feel different, I got heartburn moments after the fill, maybe just panicking....

Did they have you drink Water before leaving the doctors office?

Follow the instruction sheet for fills that you should have from your doctor. No need to panic unless you can't sip any Clear Liquids (and keep them down). You won't know if you're too tight for a few days (unless you're obviously in danger if you can't get liquids in today).

Yes, I'm drinking Water now it's going down

Everyone is right my 2nd fill was too tight.. Anytime your on liquids and you can't swallow the liguids your too tight!!

When I was too tight I had terrible hearburn and reflux. Trouble keeping anything down. If you are worried you should call your doctor. It is not good to grin and bare it.

Can you choke/suffocate in a sense from it?

[2muchfun 8,927]

I never experienced any difficulties with my fills but I read a lot where others do. If you can drink Water that is good, but the test will be mushies or maybe a thick Soup? Take it easy and slow so that you don't have a stuck episode, as this can cause some inflammation at the band site which will only make you tighter.

Like so many others have said, call your doc if you can't swallow Water because dehydration is very dangerous.

No, the band is around your stomach not your lungs. Two completely different organs.

When I was too tight, I could not swallow Water. Sometimes there is swelling after your fill. If water goes down give it a few days.

Yes, it takes me a few days to adjust to a fill as well. If after that you have problems with fluids or food that is well chewed and eaten slowly, you are probably too tight. One thing I would suggest is that you don't eat or drink for 1-2 hours before bed time. If you are too tight or still adjusting to the new fill, food and drink may reflux back when you are sleeping. That used to make me wake up coughing when that happened.
