Am I too tight? Or give it time?

my band is very tight, I can do fluids fine but other foods get stuck often and I wind up just burping alot and very uncomfortable... not throwing up anything, just a lot of saliva in my mouth and trying to make myself burp....

does anyone know if that is hurting me to burp so much? Nothing comes up just burping to move the food... Is it damaging to your band if food gets stuck often?

Update...I went to see the surgeon today. Since liquids are going down OK and aren't gurgling anymore, he said I had two options. 1) Do liquids until Friday and see how I do, then introduce mushies again. He is there all day Friday if I need to be seen 2) Get the .5CC taken out.

I chose to do liquids because he said as I lose weight it will get less tight. He said to just keep an eye on my urine that it doesn't get dark and to make sure I stay hydrated.

Ok i forgot to ask why are you watching for dark urine???? Is that a sign of being dehydrated?

Yes if we do not get enough liquids to flush the toxins from our system our urine will get really dark.Just to update my fill from Friday is tons better today so I feel you will be fine if you just give it a little more time.It always takes about a week for me after a fill for the swelling to go down and I can see where I am gonna be.

Thank you! I am already feeling a little better. I can get some mushies down and liquids don't gurgle now. It is great having restriction now!
