:crying:Yes...it feels like I have to swallow all the time because something is in the back of my throat. I have not had a new fill. Also I have an acid feel in my throat and stomach - no nausea or vommitting. I have had some trouble with hard Proteins such as beef in the past. How do you know if something is stuck or if you have reflux or just plain heartburn. I am in Bangkok Thailand for two months and my doctor is the States! HELP! TWO QUESTIONS - what are PBs and slime? Unfamiliar with the lingo

HI...I am new to the forum but not new to the lap band. I had the lap band placed almost three years ago. I have had to have all the Fluid removed because of complications with swallowing. I am now gradually getting fills again. I have lost only 40 lbs. which is very discouraging. Now I am in Bangkok Thailand and I have a fullness in the back of my throat. I feel like there is a back-up of food. Could I have something stuck? I can still swallow Water and yogurt with no problem. I am afraid to try anything else. I also have an acid stomach that seems to be backing up into my throat. SUGGESTIONS?! Trying to find a doctor here could be a real adventure!
