I do this alot! I get so exicted and anxious to eat that i literally swallow the food and therefore it gets stuck. I literally have to sit there and think "ok chew chew chew or your going to run to the toilet" Also, try not to be starving when your going to eat your meal. Snacks helps me alot because when it comes to dinner or lunch I don't eat as fast especially that first bite!

Bread is not one of the things you should probably eat after surgery....didn't your doctor have you on a jello/broth/liquid diet? You prob had restriction and as you get your fills you will def not be able to swallow bread/carbs.

I get those pains too usually when i eat too fast. I dont get it while eating i get them after i am done eating. I was told that the band expands and hits our wall so that it what usually causes the pain. It's like swollen of the band line ;0

I am now the same way! try to take your multivitamin everyday and eat lots of protein! Also, Vitamin K and E prevents some bruising. Try taking some of those vitmains too.

ok yeah im thinking its because im eating close to bedtime too! its scarey, im glad I wake myself up! jesus lol

If I eat an hour or so before I fall asleep I end up waking up choking! It's scary but my schedule is so wacked I need to eat if hungry cuz then I can't sleep...is this because I'm too right or just because I'm eating and laying on my back too soon?

Mines in my bellybutton - kind of on the bottom but u can feel throughout the whole button lol

Stress def makes my band tight too...also, getting excited makes it tight too! so weird but i notice that too! Does getting happy/excited for something make your band tight?

Ive been banded for over a year now and have never really been negative about the band. Im actually happy and excited I have it because well for the obv we can loose weight and not gain it back! I havnt gained any back and dont plan on it either. Ive lost 80 pounds and very happy! The only negative thing that happens to me is when i do it to myself and I clearly understand its my fault. Like not chewing enough and getting stuck! thats the only negative thing but other than that we have to make it positive because we chose to have the band

Hey! orland park here! had my surgery Jan 20 2010 and have lost 80 pounds so far! But now I've hit a plateau Any suggestions?

Well, we had a Xmas potluck today at work and after eating I almost passed out!!! Has this ever happened after eating junk?? I ate a very small portion of everything but it wasn't that bad.....a little here and there but after i was done i almost collapsed! Ive been banded a year now and can notice when I dont eat on track my body gets mad at me!!! Scarey!

When you make loud gurgling noises!!!! After eating or drinking

Unfortunately im still the same 184

I stayed the same
