What Does Having The Lapband Feel Like?

[FLORIDAYS 3,040]

Glad you are asking questions! Here are my experiences with the band.

Can anyone tell me what it feels like to have a LapBand? I only notice it when I eat. It doesn't feel like anything... But I know it's working when I am satisfied after a cup or so of food

Can you feel it? No

Do you feel like it's hard to breathe? No

Do you have a hard time swallowing? I do not

What is a 'stuck' episode? Does it get stuck in your esophagus or in the small stomach? It feels like it gets stuck in the lower throat but I know it's lower...it like tightness in my chest

Does having a LapBand make you have heartburn? No

Can you still eat spicy foods? Yes

Can you still guzzle Water or will it be sip city forever? I cannot guzzle abwholewater bottle all at once. I can take large sips ....maybe 1/2 c at a time

Any permanent damage from it? Not that I know of

Do you like it or dislike it? I love love love that it prevents me from over eating....
