i havn't had any problems or anything, but i've heard that things getting stuck and having your band slip can be kind of scary if you don't know what's happening, so i thought id just ask what does it feel like and what happens when something get stuck or your band slips?? i want to be prepared so i can contact my dr but not unnecessarily.

thanks

I've never had a slip, thank God. But I've been stuck.

A big stuck for me is pain - like heart burn. A lot of it.

Then nausea for a split second - then UP IT COMES!

A little stuck for me is repeated swallowing with a sludgy throat, discomfort, and then an eventual "clunking of the pipes" as the food goes thru.

Either way your instinct might be to drink...I cannot stress enough NOT to do that. It does not "wash thru" but instead sits there and makes things worse. What works for me is papaya enzyme, jumping up and down, walking, or bending wayyyyy over (or all in succession!)

You'll know when it happens.

alright good to know thank you!!
