Things You Can't Do Once Banded

I was just watching an episode of Dr G. It turned out the victim was a drug mule and died from one of the packages of cocaine, that he had ingested ,bursting.

My first thought?

Well that's one job you can't do once you're banded! I mean imagine trying to swallow those with a band in place.Even worse would be getting stuck and then going to the Dr for an unfill, especially if it was done under fluoro.

NB.This was not something I had or ever would consider.

So are there any other things weird or wonderful that anyone can think of that you can't do once banded?

    I would say that professional eating/eating contests are out.

    Oh and you couldn't be a contestant in an eating contest. Can you imagine? You'd be PB'ing and sliming faster than the other contestants could swallow! NOTE: lol Skinny_Jill you hit post a nano se

Still laughing...too funny you two!

I won't be entering or have any hope of winning the annual July 4th timed hot dog eating competition at Coney Island, NY! :)

Well you certainly can't attend a college sorority party and participate in the beer bong challenge ( wouldn't anyways I'm in my forties and done with college)

taste tester for new cola products . . . not a good profession for lap band

Who could eat the fastest? That ain't gonna happen either, lol

You couldn't do any wacky food challenges a la Man vs Food! Speed eating is definitely out!
