  1. My doctor told me that it was not my band causing this....he did a ct scan. But, it has to be. I mean everytime i swallow about 5 seconds later i am in severe pain until the liquid goes down...it will one month monday.....i did have a hernia repair the same time as the lapband, i dont know if that has anything to do with it.....i am always nauseated, and gagging and i get that thick slimy spit build up in my mouth like if i would have eatin to much or something is stuck, but i am on strickly liquids the only thing i have eating that had some consistency to it was mashed potatoes. I have no fill yet. I am at my wits end.
