Golf ball in throat/chest?

Sarah.R · 06-30-2008, 08:19 PM

Ok so I've read about people post banding who sometimes when they eat too fast they get a feeling like a golf ball in there throat/chest and was wondering what's up with that? I'm not banded but sometimes when I eat certain things I get a pain like I've eaten way too fast and I can't breathe and it's there for about 30 seconds or so. It's usually when I only have certain foods like if I have cold fried rice I get it where as if its hot I don't, If I eat pikelets sometimes I get it as well and I also get it when I get a hamburger from the fish and chip shop - people say you usually get that when you eat way too fast but I'm like the slowest eater and it's usually takes me half an hour to finish dinner and sometimes I still get it. Do you think this is the same thing? I know I won't be eating things like fried rice and hamburgers after banding but do the symptoms sound the same cuz if so I want to see if that's what it is before and try and stop it before I'm banded if possible. Thanks

Sarah, I haven't had any specific food problems but when I eat fast I get that golf ball feeling and it is painful!!!!!! I think food gets stuck at the band is what is causing the problem......anyone have an answer?
