I have been banded since July 2007 and have only lost 30 lbs. I want to ask ppl, do you feel pain when you eat even when you've chewed your food? When I get a small fill, I feel constraint, like I can't breath... Is it my fear of not being able to eat the foods I want in the portions that got me into this trouble in the first place? Am I fighting the band? Do I resent the band? Can anyone relate to what I am saying and have any words of wisdom?
