I am a little confused about this stuck thing. When foods get's stuck is it in your esophagus and why when the band is around the top of your stomach???:cursing: I know how to avoid it and it doesn't happen to me very often, actualy not at all until my 2nd fill recently.

I had my first experience with food being stuck. I got banded on April 21 and have had no fills yet. I started to eat a half of a chicken salad sandwich. I don't know whether it was the big chunks of chicken or the bread or the nuts and fruit in the salad, but the few bites that I took wanted to come back up in a matter of a minute. It is possible that I didn't chew well enough or that I ate too fast. I just had the bridge replaced on the left side of my mouth and have to chew on the right side only temporarily. I won't do that again.

It is reassuring to hear about all of your experiences. I feel like letting my family read them to let them know I am normal and not some lapband freak who is doing something wrong. LOL

I do have a question. Has anyone had this happen to them? Sometimes when I am really in trouble and I vomit, stuff also comes out of my nose. I know it is gross but it has happened. I am worried about aspirating food.
