DOES ANYONE HAVE PROMBLEMS EATING OR DRINKING? WELL I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING STUCK EVERY TIME I EAT OR SOMETIMES WHEN I DRINK. I HAD MY FIRST FILL IN FEB-08 .I DID OK. EATING SOUP AND SALAD. ALSO I COULD DRINK COFFEE AND SMOOTHIES.NOW THEY ARE HARD TO GET DOWN. THIS MAY SOUND GROSS.BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE GOT TO BURP,BUT ALL THAT COMES UP IS MUCUS.DOES ANYONE HAVE THIS PROMBLEM?:rolleyes2:

did you have a hiatal hernia? If you had a repair it could be that, or you may should have had a hernia repair. Please call your Doctor, I would not treat this lightly.

i am having the same problem. i dont see it as a problem though. i had my surgery done july 2007 and am down to 216 lbs from 290 lbs. i intentionally had my band tightened to this extreme. i am unable to tolerate anything solid at this time. i live on salad dressing and frozen cokes. is this dangerous, not so far as long as i can maintain my nutrition. i am in muscle breakdown but i have a lot of muscle mass. i was previously on injectable testosterone to help with weight loss. my surgeon tightened my band because i told him to. he knew that if he didnt i would do it myself so he did it. i am a physician and a gynecologist, so i have access to the means to adjust my band myself. talk to your surgeon and ask him his recommendations. you are still probably trying to ingest too much at one time. take sips, not swollows.

I went and had 1/2 cc taken out. I feel better,but now i need to go back and get my 1/2 back. Because i now can eat anything. I want to lose not gain.
