Pineapple juice also helps with stuck foods. My Dr suggested it today. You can buy cans of it on the juice aisle. The acidity essentially melts to food to push it on through. I stopped today and already bought some.

I had my band & plication done in Nov, and have so far lost 42 lbs. However, for the last 2 weeks everything except liquids are getting stuck. Almost as if my throat won't allow solids down. My last fill was 6 wks ago, so it shouldn't be the band that's causing this. It's fustrating because I was doing so good, and now am miserable. Has this happened to anyone else?

I had my band & plication on a Friday & went back to work the following Monday. I was just sore, but didn't even take any pain pills. You'll do fine. If you've had children, this is a cake walk

I used Dr Adam Smith @ FtWorth lapband. I have not been able to eat any type of bread or fried food, since my surgery in Nov. First of all it gets stuck & which hurts, then I end up throwing it up anyway. So I gave up trying. Everything else in small bites with alot of chewing, seems to be Ok.

So far, so good. Just had 3cc's removed from the lap band on Friday... As it was too tight. The plication really keeps you from over eating. Which is a good thing. As it takes awhile for the lap band to be filled enough to feel snug.

I also got some taken out today....they removed 3 cc's. I had my 4th fill 5 days ago, and had been unable to keep anything down except liquids until today. My Dr says it can be related to allergy season, as this is common this time of year (in Texas). The extra sinus drainage causes swelling. They also told me that each time I was vomiting, I was causing even more irritation & swelling I am amazed that just 3 little cc's could make such a difference. I too am concerned about gaining in the next 3 weeks now until my next fill. So I will really have to be careful.

I had the lap band & plication (iBand) done in November. It's a new procedure that is semilar to a gastric sleeve. They decrease the size of your stomach by stapeling it. This increases your weight loss success of the lap band & also deceases the chance of the lap band slipping.

I had my 4th fill yesterday & can only tolerate liquids. I am so miserable this time. Not sure if I should ask for them to take some out, or wait it out. Any suggestions?

I had my band & plication ion November. Lost 19 lbs pretty fast, but have been stuck at the same weight now for 3 weeks. I did join a gym 2 weeks ago and began Zumba. I am so fustrated that my scale isn't moving. Any one else been there? Fluffy & fustrated.
