I haven't been able to load Farmville in three months and I getting PO'ed!!

I've read that the food eventually will get digested enough to pass through... but the biggest fears are damaging the suture that holds the band in place if one vomits, or ending up stuck long enough to become dehydrated! I got stuck on a Friday and went to the dr's office for a quick unfill/fill since I didn't want to risk a run to ER on the weekend. If someone is getting stuck or vomiting on a regular basis, I'd wonder if the band is a bit too tight? My Achilles heel is a Wakeup Wrap from Dunkin Donuts... the combination of the wrap and sausage pattie are instant problems--that is one of the few foods that is a guaranteed problem for me! Or, if eat too fast and forget to chew I get a quick wakeup call... not fun!

I see a lot of posts from folks who want, or need, to get back to work within a few short days after surgery. I think your experience would be a good lesson to anyone who tries to push their healing time. You probably saved a few readers the same experience.

Measure, weight, record... always worked for me, even before banding. When I became complacent and lazy, I failed.

Sometimes I have the opposite urge... "I am losing weight faster than I expected, so I can cheat a bit...." I guess we all react differently, but we all have the food demons to deal with.
