That is crazy! I guess everyone is different. I have a 10cc band, was banded july 19th 2011, and i only have 3.75cc in my band. Why do you have so much in such a short time?

yes much better thanks for asking! i'm thinking i had a touch of the stomach flu!

I guess my choice of words was not the best. As far as slime, it does only happen when i eat to big of bites or eat too much! Thanks for the helpful suggestions

I have had my lap band for almost a year. I have experienced food being “stuck”, and the “sliming”. Today I was eating some lunch, and everything was going fine, after I was done eating I had the usual slim come back up, and I had a little food come back up. About an hour later, I was out and got a drink of tea. I had just taken a few sips, about 15 minutes later while I was driving home, I started throwing up uncontrollably, and I threw up everything I had eating for lunch. I guess my question is, is this a lap band thing, or do you think a touch of the flu? Any comments would be so greatly appreciated!

It has been almost 5 weeks since I was banded. I have had very good luck so far, besides a few foods that just do not agree with me. Tonight I was able to go to a restaurant and eat some grilled fish. I was very happy that the place had something I was able to eat. The only trouble I seem to have is having a full plate of food in front of me at one time. I have been thinking, maybe it would be a good idea to get a box when they first bring the food out, to ease temptations.

There are so many things in our life that we are so uncertain about. Jobs, marriages, finances, and listing to your heart instead of your mind. Of the many things that i am so uncertain about in life right now, I can honestly say that i am certain to change my life. Not for anyone but me, how often do we make choices that are strictly for us? NEVER! We try to please others first, i think it is just in our nature. I have learned that if you arn't happy yourself you cannot make others happy....am I right? Forget all the worries you have, yes it will be hard. Take a day just to do nothing but take care of yourself, this is not a selfish act. Love yourself, pamper yourself, and most of all let others love you.
