hi, I'm Dr Nassar bariatric Surgeon. If you have pain when swallowing, gastritis or reflux persistent endoscopy should be done to rule out an erision of the band and a intestinal tract X Ray to rule out that the band is displaced

@@Muñekita I saw you posted earlier that you were worried about a feeling of pressure and bloating not being not able to eat/drink Water for fear of making matters worse. Are you thinking it might have had something to do with your plication or your band?

I have a band and plication but I had them done at the same time. Reading your post in the plication forum suggested you had the plication after being banded for 7 years. You might want to give your surgeon a call and go in to have your band and plication checked out to be sure that everything is in place and working well.

I know sometimes for me when I have one of those large yawns and swallow a large amount of air I can get a bit of an air bubble for a minute but it usually passes quickly and never stops me from drinking or eating. Please do give your doctor a call and keep us updated on how your doing.

No I don't have any pain, or reflux, no chest pain.

In the last 2-3 weeks all of a sudden I feel like super full, so full that it feels like pressure as if someone has gotten a pump and pumped my belly. So I feel so full that it's uncomfortable. For example, yesterday I had lunch at 11:30 am and I was fine. All of a sudden around 1:30 I started the fullness/Pressure start and it didn't go away till around 5 pm. During this time I just feel super full,and feel like if I even sip on some Water it will make it worst. Then after it goes away I start feeling hungry.

The other day, I ate around 12:00 and around 2 pm I got the same feeling of fullness, I feel so full that it feels like my stomach is going to explode or that feeling that you get when you eat so much that u can't fit anything anymore and it's uncomfortable.on this particular day, that feeling didn't go away till like 7:30pm.

I went to see my Doc today and did the Nasal Endoscopy, and my band and plication are perfect, THANK YOU JESUS!!!

He also, had a ultrasound to make sure it wasn't the gallbladder or gallbladder stones. And that came negative, THANK GOD!!

He said it might be something fatty that I might be eating to make me feel bloated. So I will keep and eye out to see if there is a pattern. But I prayed to God it was nothing and believe in divine healing and also thank God for my wonderful doctor he truly is the best!!

Thanks everyone for your advice and words of encouragement!
