I am going Thursday for my first doctor visit concerning the lap band surgery!

I have read tons of posts where if you eat too much, you may throw up. I still am suffering from mild dyspaghia from my stroke last year. My question is : Is throwing up commonly the way you know you have had too much food? I am scared to death of "getting sick" and choking............

What happens when something gets "hung" when you are eating? Do you choke or get sick or what?

I was banded on June 4th and have yet to throw up. Your pouch feels like it is under a lot of pressure. When it feels like that, I stop eating immediately. Is is kind of different as there is a "fullness" near the breast bone. I have had some heartburn and just a touch of nausa one time. You will know when the pouch is full - don't worry about that - just remember to eat slowly.
