Glad to hear that I am not the only one having some of these issues!! I am at a point where I dread going out for a lunch as I am constantly leaving the table to hurl up the slime. What is PB? I try to eat the right foods and they are giving me major grief!! Even eating soup out will frequently be bad. I am finding that the dry crisp foods work - but they are HIGH in calories! HELP!

Hi I am with you. I need to hear frrom people that have been banded. I am set for it to be a go next month. I have wondered too about feeling the same . Have you heard from anyone about what it is like 2-3 years out as far as "tabu" foods - like can you have any pasta, rice, beef or pork ever again?

What state do Walter and Kelley practice in? I live in MAdison, WI and really need help from someone!

I'm With you I need HELP!

I have not had any surgery as of yet. I was all wound up about having it in 3 weeks - saw my GP today for a quick check-up - expected full support. Instead he told me to step back and carefully investigate the LONG term complications of lap-banding surgery. I will be paying for the surgery out of pocket, consequently, he informed me that my insurance will NOT pay for surgery, or ANYTHING, for complications. I hear erosion and blockages as terrms being brought up. What are these - what are the stats-where can I obtain long-term stats????????? HELP!!!!

What is erosion?
