Hello, Blooeyez.....I was banded 7/2/07...'round the same time as you but I can't eat meat without it getting stuck. I have 1.8cc in my band. I wish I could eat a similar diet to yours! I have an appt with the clinic on 1/10.....is it possible I'm too tight? Alot of times after eating I get this awful pain "in my sides".....pressure, whew! No relief till i throw up. Hope this get resolved soon.

Hi LindaSusan! The only meat I've had problems with so far is steak ... tried it once, up it came!

I have either 2.3 or 2.4 in my band, when I went back for my unfill (in November) Dr K said I only had 2.5 in (when I should have had 2.6) ... then he removed .2 so not too sure of the amount, and I certainly hope I don't have a leak! Guess I'll find out at my next fill ...

Good luck with your appointment on the 10th ... hope you get the situation resolved!
