feeling sore

[BellaNana 6]

I had my second fill yesterday. 1cc added as compared to the first time only .5cc's. I really didn't notice any difference after the first fill but this time I do. I feel some soreness and some tightness at the breast bone. I'm not having any problems with Fluid or food intake and keeping it down. I am noticing I have to eat a lot slower than before. Is this ok? Does that feeling go away in time?

Any advice or feedback from those of you with more experience on what to expect would be great.

You're feeling the swelling from the fill most likely. That can go away in a few days as long as you don't try to push it by eating too fast, too big and don't chew. I'd continue to eat soft foods for another 24-48 hours and stay away from burgers, chicken chunks or anything that might get stuck? The tightness should go away but the feeling you need to eat slower will stay with your a long time if you're lucky!

Look at this video. It's a fluoroscopy of Catfish's fill a few weeks ago. Notice how small the stream becomes once it hits your band. Think about how small that hole is when you're swallowing your meals?

Thanks for the information. I didn't realize you have swelling after a fill. I'm watching what I eat and just taking it slow. Good to know what I'm feeling is more than likely normal. I'm terrified of having a slip or stretching out my pouch.

I find that it takes about a week to get restriction after a fill. And it restricts further when I have a period.
