I am 18 years old and had the lap-band surgery on Aug 9th 2010. I have only had one fill about 5 months ago and was filled a very small amount. Everything was fine until I had some chicken get stuck about a month ago. I threw it up with a very nasty mucus around the stuff that came up and went to the ER because everything was tight. They did an xray and said nothing else was stuck and that I had an esophagial ebrasion (spelling?) and to take it slow and easy for the next week. They never told me how the band looked though. For the next week I ate soft foods and was extremely careful of how much and how fast I was eating. Everything was going well until I started eating normal foods again. Any kind of meat I eat, besids sea food, gets tight in my throat and I throw it up. And now for the past 3 weeks I havn't been hungry at all. I eat a quarter cup of food and am bursting full and it is almost difficult to swallow some things. I can drink Water fine. Also, when I do throw the stuff up with that mucus, I can't even handle my own saliva. I have pain in my stomach and throat sometimes, but can't tell if it is simply stomache pain or the band. I am very worried about band slippage and I am making an appointment for this week to go see someone about it I just wanted to know if anyone had some feedback for me. Thanks. IrishHare92

My bites are always small and I chew until whatever it is is mush. I don't know maybe it's just a thing I'm going through right now. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow morning. I'll post what he says about it. I think I am just getting myself all worked up about it. worrying for no reason....

I am 18 and was banded in August 9 2010. I could use a lap-band friend too. IrishHare92
