I am 8 weeks out from a band over bypass and had a fill on 4/13.  Three days ago I started having pain every time I take a bit of food or drink a sip of water.  It hurts at the bottom of my throat and in my chest.  Is this heartburn or is my band too tight?  Can anyone give me some feedback.  If you have suffered from the same thing and it was heartburn what did you take.  It is killing me!  Thank you.

You're too tight. Get an appointment for an unfill ASAP!

A lil too tight. If you have allergies this could be causing the problem too. Your stomach can tend to get tighter with mucus. Gross, butt it happens.

Thank you everyone.  I called my doctor and he stated to go back to liquids for a few days that I must have irritated it and its swollen.  He also said to take Pepcid and if it isn't better on Monday to come in for a slight unfill.

Thank you Heather.  I guess because the doctor said that if I were too tight that I wouldn't be able to eat food, which I can.  I will go see him tomorrow and get a bit taken out.  It sucks because he is an hour and half away and I am self pay.
