Band slipped?

[amcolling 4]

How would you know if your band slipped or if you caused vascular constriction to your stomach? I screwed up and took one bite of my daughter's pretzel and I nearly died! It got stuck and the pain was horrible. I was in Walmart too so I rushed out to the parking lot where tons of mucous came up. Now I'm sore.

Probably fine. Go to liquids for 24 hrs to deal with swelling.

Haha- thanks guys. Well my doctor told me a horror story of a guy eating a donut at a golf outing. He caused vascular constriction and his band slipped. I figured all it took was a donut!

So, on the bright side, you do have some restriction. That's good news! Now you know why they say small bites, chew, chew, chew?
