Hi. I had lap band surgery on November 4, 2008 and have lost 34 lbs to date. I had my first fill on December 1, 2008 and cannot lie that i still do crave my forbidden foods. My question is can I do damage to my band in the form of slippage by eating and the food getting stuck. It doesn't always get stuck but if I am a glutten and it gets stuck I get the slimes. I have not thrown up, but have come pretty close and I am scared that I am going to start all over with surgery and all. Is it possible to do this damage. I will say for the most part I am not really hungry sometimes it is head hunger. I know I am probably overreacting so beginning tomorrow I am starting back on my protein shakes, weighing my food and putting my daily intake down in a food journal.:tongue2:

To simply answer your question...yes it can cause problems with your band...
