I am nearly two weeks out and I wanted to find out if the way I feel full is normal. I Usually get the hiccups and then if I continue eating I get a tight/sore feeling to the right of my bell ybutton, almost on my side... I assume this means my sleeve is full to the brim?

I have heard that when you get the hiccups you should stop, and that when your nose runs it's a good indication that you are full. I don't think you should continue eating after hiccups....I would hate to see you stretch it out. My suggestion (not that you asked) would be to stop when the hiccups set in. I'm only 3 days out (I hope I will get my indicators up and running) I got my first runny nose yesterday....yay!

I feel like I ate a very large meal. I hiccup when I am full too. I am about 2 months out as well. I dont think that means you are "full to the brim". I just think that because the tube is so rigid that there isnt much give. So when your full it really pushes again the walls and gives that uncomfortable feeling. I found the best way for me not to feel uncomfortable is to stop when I feel satisfied and not keep pushing food in. I used to eat and just feel pain and a lot of discomfort. I try my best to stop as soon as I get that very satisfied feeling.

I have decided not to really ask this question anymore because everyday is different. Today I ate two cups of chilli from 1 to 5pm and never felt full, but satisfied. Sometimes it feels as though there are air pockets in between the pieces of food. Sometimes I don't feel anything and sometimes I feel like the food is in my throat so I just throw it up. I don't ever really feel full like I used to, but I am also not really hungry so when I am sort of hungry I eat a couple of bites and that feeling goes away. I love Soups and anything mushy no weird feelings just goes in. Eating regular food it still feels weird. I literally feel every bite go down in load itself into my stomach. I feel like eating is never normal and full will never happen again. I don't even really care about that feeling because that is the feeling that made me depressed. I just don't like the air pockets feelings.

I have not felt full or that tightness feeling in my chest and I am 10 weeks out.

I measure my food and usually don't even get to eat all of it. I eat until I no longer feel hungry and then I stop. I sometimes hiccup and feel pressure in my throat! That is most def when I stop if I haven't by then!

My problem is that I still eat too fast. My full signal is hiccups but if I eat fast I get them a little late and get a bad pain right at the base of my breastbone...ugh. I try to eat slow...but I'm not good at it.

Kids, that is exactly how I feel! I've asked my husband to watch my eating and remind me to slow down!

I can't imagine why it would hurt on your right side. The stomach is on the left side right? Maybe referred pain? Dunno. But I would stop before I felt that next time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
