Dont regret what you have done, being at your previous weight was something you should of been worried about. Evereybody is diffrent so dont worry yourself and if you feel so bad about the band one great thing about it is it can always be removed. and I see you are already losing which should make you feel GREAT!!!

I can eat chips better than popcorn......especially thin chips.

Thank You all so much for your advice!!!! I will start to wait 20-30 minutes after I eat to see how that goes.

How long should you wait before drinking after eating???

And has anyone had the problem of having to stand and eat to make food go down better??

Dr. Mora is AWESOME and he cares!! He always answers all my questions and any concerns he takes his time with his patients and I'm Thankful to have him as my Lap-Band doctor!

I have had many fills but just recently the last fill I had hurted like HELL!! he had to keep poking me to find the port and I did shed tears I asked my doctor why did this happen this time and he explained to me as you ose weight your band can shift.....but I do understand your pain!

I was the same way I just had my last filll and I feel restriction I vomit my food up but at times its been foam and I burp often when drinking fluids, but I put up a similar post like yours and the feedback I got was my band may be to tight, but im losing weight now!...so I'm kind of confused also; but if it to the point that you are worried you may want to see your doctor.

I just got my 3rd "true" fill last week. Since then, whenever I eat I get really bad indegestion (belching and burping) to the point that I vomit. But when I vomit, it's not the food that comes up, but foam. Am I too tight? I have 5cc in my AP Standard LapBand. It's not painful to eat, and I don't throw up my food, just foam. I don't want to cause an erosion, or slippage of my band. But I know at 4cc I felt no restriction. This is the first time I've felt any restriction, so I don't know if this is normal for beginners, or if I'm eating too fast, or if it's acid reflux, or ..... lol I just don't know.

How do you know if your band has slipped??? what symptoms??

Thanks for the advice Tammy!

from what I hear, it sounds like you're to tight. you may need to have a slight unfill. if you keep PB'ing your band could slip

I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF FILLS BUT THIS LAST FILL HURTED SOOOO BAD. NOW IM AFRAID TO GET ANY OTHER FILLS IF NEEDED. MY DOCTOR SAID AS I LOSE WEIGHT THE PORT MAY MOVE AROUND, BUT HE HAD TO KEEP POKING ME AND POKING ME I HATED IT!

I had my Lap-Band surgery March 26, 2010. I didnt have any problems and everytime I went for a fill I was glad to get it I actually wanted it tighter because I felt like I could still eat alot. well, well, well, a year later I cant keep ANYTHING DOWN!!! Everything I eat and drink (including water) I throw back up!! I havent told my doctor..... why??? because Im finally losing the weight. I cant eat late at night because when I lay down it feels like I need to burp or spit-up. I havent lost very much within the year Im just now showing progress. HAve anybody else have or had these problems??
