I was banded 11/30/07 and that has been over a year ago - wow! Still learning the ins/outs as I have never asked for help. The never ending feel of a burp in my throat and food stuck on top of the birp. Still working this out and not sure what to do. Patty

I am just now getting into the learning phase of what I need to do to fix some issues. I have dealt with them for 15 months and I am ready to end the craziness. Hopefully this forum will help as I am at the proper adjustment and do not need anything now. I just started having really bad reflux at night (waking me up with liquid choking me) and heartburn during the day. Drs trying to figure out if lap band has messed witht hat sphyncter muscle in there. Have lost about 65 lbs total.

My fills nad unfills are fine. No problem there. I just seem to always have a birp feeling after eating. I do drink OCCASIONALLY with food and maybe that causes that bubble. I just realized was a PB was. My doctor said that maybe I was sliming and I have never heard that term but have not done anysupport or help classes as I work all of the time. I am just now ready to take the time and figure the issues out. Every now and then something bothers me enought that I have to go and "puke" for a better word and then I am all better. That must be the PBs. Patty

I was banded on a Friday and took off work that day and actually went back to work on Monday after. That was hard to keep a secret but it was mine to keep. I told them I was not feeling weel and as I started losing weight, I told them I was not eating bread nad my hubby was eating half of my food (that was not a lie). When I was ready, I told me and they were fine. Patty

I had that stuck feeling in the first few months only and it truly from not chewing yoru food good enough or that was the case with me. Chew!!!! That is what I have learned nad eact very slowly. Patty
