Not Invisible

That doesn't sound right to me. If you are taking small bites and chewing the heck out of them,then it shouldn't be getting stuck. When I get things stuck its because I wasn't paying attention to my bites or I was trying to rush something down. I suspect your band is too tight. You might want to see the doctor about takings bit out. Water should go down easily. Any ways, those are my thoughts. The vomiting thing should be avoided and is a red flag that things aren't quite right. Good luck with it.

How did it go? I got banded on Sept 13. I'm just looking forward to getting over the shoulder pain!

Completely possible....and I would know! Started out at a tight 28!! And now I fit in a loose 6!
In fact, look at my avatar. That is me at a size 6 with my 28s on.

You need to keep trying those jeans on as otherwise the same could happen to you that happened to me - you try them on and discover they are too big!

Well I've been banded (Sept 13) and flew back the 4 hour flight to Calgary (Sept 14). I don't feel to bad but that maybe due to the demoral, gravel, gas strips, and one other durg to reduce swelling in you body. The drugs knock me out so I find I am drifting into sleep more often. I am just sipping on some chicken broth and I am going to try some Jello next. Thank you everyone who has posted positive thoughts I felt it very helpful. I hope my positive post will help those of you waiting for your surgery.

Good luck tomorrow. I got banded last Thursday and things are going good. I've been taking things easy and I'm feeling a lot better today. I'm shocked that I don't have abdominal pain! Burpings is a drag though. Good luck!

Give yourself a break. Get back on the Pre-op diet and look forward not back. If we all could stick to a diet religiously, no one would be banded! Just do your best and be happy! I had a hard time with it too and the surgery went well last week!
