I am so glad to see all of these posts. I thought I was going crazy. I have been taking Zoloft for years before banding and after. All of the sudden I couldn't take the pills without pain. I broke the pills in 1/2 thinking that would help. It didn't even enter my mind that it would make it worse. It seems to help if I take it with apple sauce, but I have still sometimes experienced pain even with the applesauce. The first time I had the pain I almost had my husband take me to the ER. I thought I had internal bleeding or something. It was horrible!
Glad to find this forum. I have been banded for two years and only lost 60 pounds. I have been at the same weight for almost a year.
