Hello all bandsters.

It's been almost a month that I had an adjustment. Since then when I get up in the morning I feel tightness when I first wake. I've heard this can be normal for some. But I usually can't eat till 2-3 hours later. At that point I still have trouble eating. I have one bite of food. Usually the food will go down but I regurgitate saliva and if I don't I'm in horrible pain.

I chew gum quite frequently and at times even if I haven't had anything to eat for hours I start have spit up issues.

Is this normal?

I havent had no fills yet but from what you are saying I think I would call your doc and have a little taken out , it sounds like you might be a tab bit to tight you should never have problems when you eat .

Have you tried to drink something hot in the morning to see if "loosens" things up?

I have never been that tight and I wouldn't like the pain issue.  This is for life and that doesn't sound like fun.  I can eat anything in the morning even when I first get up.

I can't eat first thing and often don't until about 10:30 or so. But from then on I have no problem at all.

I have never been as tight as you describe and in your shoes would have a small unfill.

We should never be so tight that eating is unpleasant.

You describe alot of the symptoms I had when I was a little too tight.  Even a 1/2 a cc might make the difference.
