I shoguld have known better. The chicken piece was to big but I figured I could chew them alll up. .....

munched a nice big piece - hmm good chicken - reading my newspaper, ooh I wonder if they are going to have a sale at MAcy's.....uhoh,.... the last peice doesn't fee so good - shoot, deep breaths, drink a little Water, drink a little bit more ---- OK no more water. Everybody out of my way. almost sick, almost sick, that's it i'm tired of waiting for it ,ggaaauugg, bleeecchh. Well now I feel much better, I'll sit back down and.... You chicken, yes evil chicken, the only place you are going is in the dog bowls. You my litty squishy string bean , you are my friends tonight

I think it's the exception - I've PB'd once so far (OK I've only been banded over a month) but I knew when I swallowed that piece of chicken that it was way too big and I hadn't chewed enough. I had more than enough time to get to the bathroom and I had just started to eat so there wasn't much to come back up. I had a small bowl of chili for lunch today (yummy!) and I was fine, cause I chewed chewed chewed. It may boil down to how sensitve your stomache was before. I use to be able to eat everything, never a sign of heartburn or indigestion (of course maybe if I did I wouldn't have gained so much weight) so the band for me is a restriction, my appetite is much less as is my capacity to eat but so far nothing seems to bother me as long as I chew it to death.

Y'all are scaring me to death with these stories of carrying around "spit cups" and hurling on your new clothes!

Tell me that this is the exception and not the rule PLEASE!

I feel the same way Nicole. SO we better learn our lessons now. But ya just gotta know its gonna happen at least once.

These stories are so funny!

I am at a month now and no PB yet.. I chew real well and I am so scared of feeling that feeling I felt in the hospital.. (horses trompling on my chest)

I am going to get a fill in April I hope..

I've been banded nearly 6 months and have probably pb'd 4-5 times, and always knew it was coming. Saliva starts getting abundant and thick like slime, and you have to spit it out, don't swallow it! I've never not felt it coming, and usually kind of help myself cough it up in order to get it over with. I've yet to have one come up without warning.
