Hi, I am totally new at this sharing of ideas and experiences on any topic let alone lap banding. I was banded two years ago and at first everything went fine. I lost 32 pounds and was ecstatic. When I had my last adjustment, whcih was about 5 months after the surgery, I think it was too much because up until that time I had never had productive burping. Suddenly, even after 1 or 2 bites it felt like food was stuck and I would have to work to get it up. Because I had a hard time keeping solid foods from getting stuck I began to eat easier to swollow foods that were also much higher in calories. I quit loosing weight and have now actually put 10 lbs back on. I know that my eating habits have gone back to the old ways, too many sweets and grazing. I am also afraid that I have stretched my pouch because of the pb. I didn't know any of this and am amazed at how much you all know. Is there going to be a chance for me to get my banding to work again. I haven't discussed this with my doctor and have not been back to see him for over a year. Any advice. Thanks so much. Rachael
