I've had this issue -- call the doctor, esp. if you're not peeing. You can dehydrate pretty easily with this thing, and even the tiniest unfill can make a huge difference. I ended up in the emergency room last year b/c I was on the way to dehydration, and you don't wanna end up there! Just be on the safe side.

Hi, I had my second fill this week and am having exactly the same issue -- I actually had my first real PB today (now I know how miserable it is!). I'm really eager to hear any and all opinions...

Hi, I was banded on 6/23. I'm about to start mushies, which I'm very excited for (because for the last few days I've been pretty hungry) but I'm preoccupied with the idea of PBing. I haven't vomited in a really long time anyway, and while I'm prepared to do what I can to avoid it, it sounds like something I'm gonna have to deal with at some point. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that I won't choke to death or something. Any words of comfort, advice would be greatly appreciated. Sheila

Thanks for all your encouragement! I'm sure I'm building this up to be worse than it actually is, as I am wont to do sometimes. But it really helps to hear everyone's experiences and supportive words. I'll keep you updated. :thumbup:

My dog is the love of my life, so I understand completely why you're so upset. I'm so sorry.

Thanks, Coco! I know white bread gives people a lot of trouble, and I guess I was just hoping against hope the brown bread would somehow be magic. :thumbup: Ah well, we do what me have to. No turning back now!

Hi all, I was just banded last week here in NYC, so I'm a bit far away from trying this particular food again, but I have to know: Does anyone have trouble eating brown bread? I fell in serious love with it on my first trip to Ireland 20-some years ago, and just recently discovered that Amazon sells quick-bread mixes from McCann's here in the U.S. I'll give it up if I must, of course, but I thought I'd do some informal research first. Thanks! Sheila Banded 6.23.08 by Dr. Fielding, NYU

Can't wait! Thanks for organizing.

Hey there, I just got banded on Monday by Dr. Fielding, and so far, so good! I'm definitely up for meeting at Ozzie's on Sunday.

Hey there, I'm 34 and single, no kids (but a really sweet dog). I'm due to be banded Monday, June 23 by Dr. Fielding at NYU. I'm near Brooklyn Heights and would be really interested in meeting up with fellow bandsters. Let's pick a date and time, and I'll be there!
