I had my surgery less than a week ago and I'm trying to fiqure out, what does, "stuck" mean? What happens when this occur? What causes it? And Lastly, how can it be avoided. Thank you.

Hi Brie..... I think we ALL wondered the exact same thing early on. It probably will happen at some point as you slowly return to a "real food" diet. Like above posters, it is pain that can be downright horrible but. My advice would be just to always go real slow when "introducing" a new food to your band especially something real dense/solid. It really varies across the board as far as which foods give which people trouble. Unfortunately, sometimes it comes down to trial and error with some foods. Just take it slow with small bites and lots of chewing as you move back into a solid diet. Best of luck

wheelchair..I'm not a moderator but could you direct future comments about LBT's "search" function to the "LBT suggestion" thread.... That way we can streamline the unnecessary ridiculous info...

I just want to thank everyone for the helpful advice and taken up for me with wheelchair's rudeness. I feel the love folks!

If no one posted things online, google wouldn't work very well anyway....I'm just sayin.

I don't have anything to add but I am recently banded so the info others posted helped me, too. Thanks!

Just logged on today. When I saw Wheelchairs' post, it almost made me log off the board.

But I stayed on line and am so glad I saw everyone's comments.

I am a newbie, too. This info helped me a lot.

LOL to the second paragraph!

I began to experience "stuck" after my second fill. But that was my personal experience. Everyone on here is shareing thier personal experience which will vary from person to person. Your questions and concerns are valid and not having info can be very frightening. I sought as much knowledge as possible prior to my surgery and attended 8 months of classess. After the surgery I realized how much I didnt know. We are here for you. Don't hesitate to ask anything. My greatest need post surgery was to find folks who had been through this before me and here about it, sometimes over and over. All the best to you!

Hi briemarrow,

I havent had the experience of getting anything"stuck" at this point and I pray I never do. I wanted to tell you DONT EVER STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!! if someone doesnt want to answer them, then they should just keep right on past the thread. There are a few negative people on this site, but dont let them discourge you, there are far more poeple willing to answer any and all questions. I'm sure as more new people join there are repeats of questions..sooooo what, that's why this forum is here. best wishes to you!
