I am very nervous today...very unsure if I want to spend the rest of my life worrying about "did I chew that enough, did I take to big a bite, and will this cause the dreaded stuffed stoms pain". I am also worried about getting in the good nutritious foods that alot of people report having trouble with like , whole grain breads, raw fruits and vegi's, and lean meats. I am also an easy puker and I am worried about the puking factor being easy for my body to fall into. I still don't know what I will decide but I am pressing on with the surgery until I do.

Hi

Relax a bit and stay away from the threads that talk about problems. It will just worry you.

I don't have any problems with my band. You will really only 'worry' about it for the first few months then it is second nature to take small bites and chew will.

As for the puking, I used to gag when I brushed my teeth but for some reason since banding I don't do that anymore. Go figure.

Good luck with your journey,

Amanda
