Hi everyone! I'm new here, still learning the ropes. I am 2 years post-op. best decision I ever made. My surgeon is dr. Vollinger in Charlotte, NC, he is great. I have had an easy journey so far, just lately getting food stuck. Not a pleasant experience, gonna try to prevent this at all times. My band is 10cc with a 4.4 fill. It works fine this way, if I go any higher I get reflux at night. Haven't had an adjustment in awhile. Only thing, this week I haven't been able to get food down since Tuesday after I ate some BBQ potato chips and a few cashew nuts! For dinner that night, tried 1 bite of fish and spent an hour in the bathroom PBing and in pain. Is this normal? I can get down water very slowly. Takes about a hour to drink a protein shake.
