Hey everyone,

I was banded in 10/07 and I am doing pretty well. I am trying new foods but lately if I try a new food and it does not go down well, I am able to get it up and out pretty quickly. However, I am nervous that my band may slip because I heard that if you regurgitate a lot your band may slip. So I am have become very apprehensive to try new foods, even though my nutritionist is encouraging me to do so. Does anyone have any advise for me? Also, what are the signs of band slippage?

Next question, why is it that I can eat one kind of food in the evening and have no negative reaction and then try to eat the same exact food in the morning and have a horrible reaction. Any ideas?

Your responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

its not real good to PB a lot. are you chewing your food properly? are you drinking with your meals?

the band is a fickle tool.

yesterday for lunch i had 4 oz ground sirloin pieces, they went down fine, today i had 2 small pieces and PBd them ...

in addition, mornings tend to be MUCH tighter than evenings (usually liquids only in the morning.)

good luck
