Ok I have a question. I was banded on 4/12, lost 18 pounds so far. Have had a few small episodes of getting stuck but nothing major until today. I have a 10 band with a 5 fill. I was on the phone & before I knew it I had eaten some chex mix & thought I had chewed it up well but became stuck. I can normally sip a little water & everything is fine but today it wouldn't budge so I felt the slime, I needed to throw up ~ when I did it had blood in it both times is that normal to have blood?

I was banded on 4/12 & have experienced those same pains. To be honest, the gas has been the worst part of everything! I don't have the shoulder pain, just the terrible gas & constipation issues. I walk A LOT so that does help, but have also been taking mirlax,milk of magnisum, enimas. I read that the gas pains can last up to six weeks.... OUCH! Once I get past this issue I will be a very happy girl.
