Can the band break?



Recommended Posts

myths

I believe that cannot happen from some of the lapband books that I've read dont talk about breaking while eat

you can't break it from eating food that are too big

the food that you do eat and its to big can go down it will get stuck and then it will come back up and make you vomit thats why they say eat small bites

I have a very unsupportive friend that told me if I eat something that's too big it can break the band. Can this really happen?

Don't think so. As stated, food can get stuck but it's not going to break the band, just make you miserable

my answer is no too. it would just become stuck and come back up with a whole bunch of slime. and why would anyone with a band eat anything so big anyways. you can put this fear back to bed.

I'm in agreement, no way can the band break. The bNd can slip BUTnot break

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
