Tight??

If you cannot keep solid foods down you are probably too tight

Reflux is another indication you're too tight.

Right after fill adjustments these are the things to look for:

1. Dry consistent cough not associated with a cold.

2. Refux spitting up in your sleep

3. Obviously not able to get any solids down without throwing up.

4. Throat irritation

5. Constant burping up dry air

NaNa is right when my band is too tight I can't get food or liquids down and I cough or vomit during the night feels like I'm choking on water.. An unfil will have instant relief so call your surgeon and give them your symptoms!

This kinda answers my thoughts. I've been banded for 3 years lost 50 lbs In the first year and then maintained that for about a year then 2 family members were diagnosed with cancer and that led me to emotional eating . To make a long story short I hadn't had a fill in a year. I got with a new surgeon had a barium swallow. He told me that my band was in great shape I had no problem with the liquid going through but he could see I didn't have good restriction.

He took me from almost 6cc to 7 this past Tuesday I was told to have 2 days of liquids and 2 days of puréed. Thankfully I did that well because I was not hungry. I'm not doing all of that bad stuff like coughing up & burping but I still can't eat much at all. I made some split pea Soup which is as good as purée I had about 3 tbsp tonight and I was feeling stuck. So I will be eating some broth , Greek yogurt & trying to have a Protein shake tomorrow . I kinda feel like at last maybe I'm hitting my sweet spot but is it like this . I've lost 5lbs since Tuesday . Which is good.

Should I be concerned? Does it sound like I'm too tight? I don't mind not being

Hungry but eventually I will have to eat a little more. Maybe it's just prolonged swelling of my pouch , stoma whatever. Sorry I had to break into this thread but I can't start threads yet.
