I had lap-band surgery a year ago, now in the last few weeks I have to stand up to eat or I feel like the food or drink is stuck causing me to burp outrageously or throw up, mostly foam but also some food. I have not had a fill since September, also I get a sharp pain where the lap-band is when I bend over, any ideas what's going on? Thanks very much for any input!!

I am a year out from lap-band surgery and having trouble, for the last couple weeks I have to stand up to eat or it gets stuck and causes terrible burping or throwing up, any ideas what might be wrong, also get sharp pain in my band if I bend over. Thanks everyone for any help you can offer. I go back to the Doctor on June 16.

Hi, I have been banded since May 15, 2015, I only have issues for the first few bites then food goes down fine. Thanks for answering!!

I have been burping up foamy slime every time I eat, usually about two bites into a meal, I feel like I have food stuck but after this nasty foamy stuff comes up I seem to be able to eat fine. This even happens when I eat yogurt so I know it's not because I don't chew enough. I can't go out to eat or eat with people because I know I'll have this problem, I also burp ALOT!! Any suggestions, comments, help??? Thank You all sooooo much!!

Love this idea, I have been putting crushed coffee beans in my protein shake, really good but sticks in my teeth!!

I WOULD LOVE TO WIN SOMETHING, JUST ONCE IN MY LIFETIME!!!!
