Funky Feeling in Chest

[teebutterfly 0]

Just wanted to toss this out there. Yesterday, I probably ate something I shouldn't have (chicken salad with some bread) and all today I've had this funny feeling in my chest, kind of like indigestion, or gas - not chest pain as in heart attack, but just feels funny.

Does anyone know what it feels like if the band slips? I guess I am just paranoid that's whats happened. I have been able to eat Soup and drink liquids.

Any input would be great!

Maybe you have chicken stuck???? I know of a women that had steak after 4 weeks being banded, against Dr. Orders!! and the steak got STUCK!! They had to empty the band completely, until she healed... I guess it caused an irritation.... Please call your Dr... Rather be safe then sorry!!

My nut said that if you get too full that you will feel it in your chest so that might be what's going on.

In my experience, that's the feeling i will get if i eat too fast, or eat something I'm not meant to.

It will also feel like that if i eat too much - not to the point where i feel like i'm going to vomit, but just a sort of tightness in the chest.

Don't worry, your band has not slipped. Symptoms of a slipped band are CONSTANT vomiting, not even being able to keep Water down, and extreme pain.

But try not to cheat again - don't risk jeopardizing the effectiveness of the band!

I get that if I irritate my band. Sounds like you are doing the right thing and having some liquids to avoid irritating it further. The feeling should pass in a couple days.

thanks all for the advice and input. Took some gas-x strips and tylenol when I got home, got a good night's rest and seems like its much better today, I think its gas and irritation, so sticking to "easy" stuff today. This is so new to many of us, I guess we all have our freak out moments!
