I was banded the end of October 2010. I have lost 21 pounds...approximately one pound a week. I feel like I'm not getting the full effect of the band when I compare my weight loss to others. I know everyone is different, but I have had so many issues. The main one that concerns me at this time is the problem of getting "stuck" every day. I rarely feel full for more than 2 hours at a time. I try to chew and eat the proper amount of protein. I have a burning sensation in my throat from the reflux and "stuck" feeling. I am trying to learn from my mistakes. I am scared the frequent "throwing up" is going to hurt my stomach where it is banded. I'm so scared this is going to ulcerate and something be injured inside...anyone else out there having these types of problems or concerns?
