The fill I got in January was my fourth fill. My one prior to that was in May last year. I have a total of 4 cc in my band now. I am very cautious about what I eat but like I said yesterday was just out of the blue. I don't really feel I am too tight other than the fact that before this last fill I could eat meat better than what I can now and I had salad before the fill where I have not tried salad yet this time. Some days I feel fine with real moist chicken but then other days the first bite just doesn't go down right so I don't eat any more of it. I just feel this fill has been different than the others for some reason.

So, yesterday I had my first stuck episode ever. Have had the band now for over a year. Don't even know really what happened yesterday other than at lunch I had cauliflower and cheese then at 230 I took my vitamins. I started feeling like I was hungry and I was at work so I tried just like 3 cashew halves pieces. Next thing I know I am having like a spasm where my band is and slime. I was PB'ing and in alot of pain. I had to leave work and go home. I gagged and gagged with slime until about 630 yesterday evening. I am in ND and it warmed up here tremendously yesterday. We have been having bitter cold tems and yesterday it was in the 50's. Wondering if maybe the weather change had anything to do with it? Also my last adjustment was Jan 28 and I have had some trouble eating certain foods that I could eat before the fill. I sometimes think I may be too tight but I am only down 11 pounds since January 28. So it's not like I am not eating at all. I am on liquids only today and tomorrow to give my stomach a break from my episode and no problems. Anyone have any advice or tips?

I was banded on 12/9/11. I have lost 77 pounds so far and feel amazing!. I am rating this band 10+. It has saved my life! I still want to lose 90 more to reach goal but feel I will get there before my bandiversary. It's a wonderful feeling too!

I have been banded now for 6 months. I have lost 69 pounds total and have felt great until 2 days ago. I have never had a stuck episode or nausea or any complications. I now have a feeling in my upper stomach that almost feels like an air bubble? I am able to swallow fine and I don't feel nauseated or anything. It's just a nagging discomfort. Wondered if anyone else has had this before?

Today it has been 6 months since my surgery.I have lost 68 pounds so far and feeling great! I just finished 3 miles on the treadmill all at one time. 6 months ago I couldn't even think about 5 minutes on the treadmill. What a change! I am happy to say I have had zero complications with the band. No stuck episodes, no nausea, no vomiting. Granted I am only at 3.5 cc but I am feeling awesome and just wanted to share. I am so thankful for my band and what it has helped me accomplish so far. Don't regret one minute of it!

I have had no problems taking pills. I can even take my vitamin whole. It goes down fine.

very exciting! Congrats!
