Ok, people i am 15 days post op and i totally had a gross feeling this AM. I have learned that there is a reason why you must eat slow. I haven't changed that behavior totally but now i must. My shreded chicken got stuck and nothing i did could make it go down, and 10 mins later it all came up. Sooooo gross!!! It was like barfing but i guess thats what they call sliming. I was on my way out the door for work, and decided to come back in and wait it out. Good thing I did, because that would not have been bad at work or at my desk.

Grossed out in Hawaii...

Kacee - thanks for the heads-up on the normal esophagus not being like a sink drain. This will all be so helpful when I finally get banded.

Hi, I'm new. I hav've been to my seminar. I have my appt with my PCP for my referral on 11/5. My new insurance starts up 11/1 and they cover lapband surgery. I am sooo excited. I'm about 140 lbs overweight. That's kind of scary as that was my weight when I graduated HS about 22 years ago. Yikes.

I love all the advise. Thanks so much!
