I have my lapband (banded on 10/12) and I have some questions. I have already had my first fill and am going for a second one on 12/3. I have read through the numerous posts and still have some questions as to what it is I am suppose to be feeling. Whenever I eat, I always get something stuck, but its not so stuck were I feel like I need to PB. I chew pretty well, but then it eventually gets stuck..does this mean I am full? Also, when I take a drink (to make the stuck become unstuck) it hurts like a bitch...and I mean that sincerely. Eventually it does go away (with a lot more sips) but its extremely painful. Does it mean I ate enough to where its hitting a spot that feels stuck? What am I suppose to be feeling, because for some reason I am not sure if I am getting it. Also, I have tried to go through all of the posts (there are so many) and do the proper research, but I haven't really had any luck in finding something that will answer the questions that I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It sounds like you could be reaching "full". Drinking when you are full or stuck is a no-no because it only makes it worse! My doc says I have to wait 15min after eating before I can drink anything.

Also, if you are getting stuck a lot you may not need another fill. How much are you able to eat at one time? You mentioned that you were a good chewer but are you also taking small bites?

Just some things to think about
