Chest pain...too tight?

Jess3620 · 09-30-2008, 01:05 PM

I got my last fill almost two weeks ago and ever since then I have had a tightness in my chest every time I eat. I think I may be too tight because I am having the hardest time getting anything down no matter how much I chew or how slow I eat. I know I need to call my doctor to see about getting him taking some out. My question is however, in the future when I lose more weight and need another fill will the same pressure be in my chest as there is now? There's pressure there even when I take small sips of water. I just don't want to get another fill to the same level I'm at now in the future and have the same pain.

Thanks!

I got my last fill on the 22nd and am experiencing the same thing. I haven't thrown up but I sure have felt like I was going to. I did call the nurse and she told me to go back on creamed soups until Thursday and try to eat again after that. If I still have discomfort she wants me to come in for a slight unfill. The sad thing is I'm still not losing weight!!!!

Yeah I know all about the crushing chest pain. That's your signal you've taken on more than you can chew, literally. I'm not sure if it happens to everyone but it's normal for me. I now have a 3 bite rule: Take 3 bites, wait, if everything feels okay after about 5 minutes, i take 3 more.
