  1. I was Banded on Feb. 15/08 at the Toronto Lap Band Centre. I felt restriction since the surgery, once on solids, everytime I tried to eat anything solid. After the 2nd or 3rd bite I would feel a blockage, great pain and hard to catch my breath, and this was before my first fill. Once I caught my breath I would drink some Water and slowly I would feel a lump passing through to my stomach. Most people say when things are stuck and they drink water the stuck food projectiles out or they PB. Has anyone else had this problem? I went for my first fill yesterday and the nurse told me that since I was already restricted she only gave me 1/2 cc, I have a 10 cc band. I lost 15 lbs before sugery and 10 lbs in 4 weeks since surgery. At this point I am happy with my weight loss, but I'm not sure if I should get a fill in 2 weeks when I am scheduled for another fill.
