Hi, I was banded 02/16/07. I have lost a minimal amount of weight since my surgery. I am getting discouraged. I had a fill, then the fill was taken out. I found myself choking when I would eat. I know we are not suppose to drink when eating, but I could not eat without drinking. Has anyone out there experienced this? Thaks.

Hi Carlene, I had the band done on 02/16/07. I have been complaining to the doctor that I am chocking. I feel like the food (solid foods, breads, etc) are getting stuck in my esophogus. I had a barium swallow. I don't understand the entire process but the doc said the esophagus and the band should creat pressure and the band will slide in place. With the espo surgery, the area may be too loose. Therefore my band isn't working properly. I am discouraged and scare. With your band, do you feel full? I have never felt full since my surgery date. Thanks. Nina
