I have been asking my dr (& others) about this, but no one seems to know what I am talking about. Is anybody else out there able to take a deep breathe, slightly move your chest & make the food fall through to the stomach? I had my surgery almost 2 years ago & have only lost about 45 lbs because I am able to cheat! (Well, that & my love for margaritas!) I kept thinking that if I just had more fill that I wouldn't be able to do it anymore. Well, that didn't work either. My band ended up too tight & that caused MAJOR problems. After 3 weeks to heal with no fill, dr filled me back to about 4 ccs today. I suspect after reading a lot of stuff that my over fill problem may have caused to have esophageal spasms. Anyway, my question was about being able to make food fall through. Can anybody else do that?:thumbdown:

Thanks for the replies! That helps to make more sense. I figured the food was falling through because doing that always enables me to eat more. Sometimes I can eat ALOT. I am glad to have my fill back in because without it for the last 3 weeks I have definately been able to tell a difference in how much I could eat. I gained 5 lbs! I really think that over fill created a lot of problems with acid reflux, etc. Sometimes now I have really bad chest pains & I know it is not my heart because I went a year ago & there were NO problems.

I see it again & again...what IS PB?:thumbdown:
