How often does food get stuck for you?

[Weas123 0]

I'm asking for people who have had their band for a while... so say:

1. how often you puke

and

2. how long you've had your band for.

Not sure what you define as "a while", so I may not be what you had in mind :cool: - BUT, I'll give you my answer anyway.

I've only puked once (two weeks ago) - I ate some chicken that was a bit on the dry side....let's just say, I hope to continue my non-puking streak - that was not pleasant.

I do sometimes feel food just sitting there sort of stuck"ish", but it usually goes away within a few minutes so not sure it's a real stuck, KWIM?

1. how often you puke- I'm on my 2nd fill have 5.75cc n a 10cc band and I usally have a pb(stuck) episode at least 2x a wk & the cause is usally eating too fast! I have never "puked" from overeating my band won't allow it if I overeat it jus feels like Thanksgiving dinner but for 3hrs!! Uggh!:smile:

and

2. how long you've had your band for- lapband date was March 16,2010.

I've been banded for 5 months (Feb 2010) and after my last fill, I've been having "stuck" issues about 3 times a week...I'm slowly learning what works and what doesn't-Meanwhile I'm a work in progress:scared2:

I get stuck maybe twice a week and almost always because I am careless.

I've been banded 4.5 months and have never puked.

I have been banded since 2/27/10...I've never had a PB episode, but I have "stuck" problems 2-3 times a week, driven by how fast I eat, how big a bite I've taken, and how thoroughly I chew. It's VERY uncomfortable, and you think by now I'd know better than to set myself up for it, but I get focused on something else, and I kinda forget about my band!

Hope this helps!

Banded since October 2009

Since my last fill in May I PB 3x a week and have had some PB/throwing up combo about once a week.

I too have the stuck feeling that usually passes with movement.

I had a really bad stuck incident in April by eating a Triscut. God, It was hours before that thing passed/came up!

Like others, most "incidents" are self inflicted by rushing, over eating or a stupid choice.

Annoying that a 'good' food can suddenly become a 'bad' one.
