I ate steak for dinner which a piece got stuck. I started sliming and then vomiting for over 20 min. It was the scariest thing. I've been banded for 5 months now but never ever experienced that. I've had so slimming but that's been it. I think I an putting myself on liquids for 24 hrs. This was down right horrible. hopefully the steak went through the band cuz that didn't come up.

Yikes! It's probably a good idea to go on liquids for a day! I've had the band for over 6 years and have never had that happen! I'm knocking on wood right now!! I hope your feeling better!

To me, that was / is a deterrent to learn to change my eating habits.....I was a food Addict...and episodes like that..(there were many) only happened when I was doing something I should not be,, and/or NOT listening to my band.....

BTW...I have not eaten Red meat in over 20 months...too risky for me with the band, so considering the health benefits I gave it up altogether....along with other food types....much to my Dr's delight...all my Dr's.
