Laurinda 1 Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) From everything I have read on here I thought if I were ever to tight I would know, now I'm not so sure. The symptoms I am having I never associated with the band <DUH me> About three weeks ago I had a major sore throat that lasted for a few days <EVERYONE one had has house my in>then when it went away I had the feeling of something being "stuck" in my throat. I have had head and chest congestion so I thought it could be related to that. I was on the verge of calling my medical doctor for an appt. because it's been three weeks and making me nuts when I read an article on Gerd and how many people experience the same feeling. THIS made me think LAP BAND. Has anyone ever experienced this feeling before? What did you do about it? Could I be to tight? I have not had the slime or pb and I can keep Water and food down. I have not had heartburn until a day or so ago and it seems to be more in the morning then evening. I have an appt with my surgeon next Thursday the 25th. Do you think that is to long to wait? IF this is being to tight it's not what I expected. It's very strange. Thanks so much! Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

Laurinda 1 Posted September 20, 2008 I called my doctor today and they said it sounded like I needed a little unfill, They could not get me in til Tuesday which I am fine with because I can keep food and Water down...for the most part. Today has been a little strange, I take one bite and I get that warning feeling that I should not take another. I don't understand how I can get tighter after a fill,(three weeks ago) I thought that when you loss weight the band loosens a little. I guess we continue to learn as we go. Thanks Jack for your input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mary-2b150 0 Posted September 21, 2008 During the summer I was too tight and would get sore throats. For me, it was from bad reflux during the night as I laid down. Stomach acids and other things were filling the back of my mouth as I slept, and I would woke up with my throat feeling "raw". Not sure if that's the same as what you're experiencing. I had to get an unfill and it has gone away. It was also better if I didn't eat or sleep for a few hours before I went to bed. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
