Question:
have a uncomfortable feelling when i eat

hi friend's i need som advice i am almost 5 months out and lately when i eat i feel like it sit's at the top of my stomach or something before going in for a couple of min. then it feels ok but if i eat something like chicken or meat it seems to stay a little longer do you think that is normal? or does it sound like my opening might need to be streched?even when i am not eating it feels a littlle tight in there in the same spot . has anyone else experience this feeling? thanks for any imput.    — KIM B.

I am 6 mo post op and start recently having this same problem.. it's almost as if the opening of the pouch is too narrow and food just sits there for awhile.. it HURTS, i can never eat more than 2-3 bites of food at any meal before the pain comes.. then after about 10-15 min the food feels like it goes down and i am able to finish my meal. I am not sure what this is, but it can be VERY VERY painful at times! let me know if anyone knows what this is or if anything needs to be done about it.. [email protected]

this only happens to me when I don't chew enough or eat too big a bite.
