:phanvan OK here's my problem and I am anticipating the scolding. I was banded Nov. 8 and after four days of strict clear liquids I ate some chunky soup, what a mistake! It was stuck and I began to heave and I thought I would choke. I never threw anything up but it dislodged. My problem is since then I have been very hungry and can eat large amounts of food, and just a side note if I could control my eating I wouldn't have the band in the first place. I am scared it has slipped and I have a pouch, I started liquids today and plan to be committed until I return to the dic on Dec. 7. Do you think I have caused serious damage, should I move up my appt?
