Anyone on here have to make urself bring ur food back up a lot after eating? Is that just all part of this surgery? Just curious

​Never for me. I have had stuck food and I walk it off. It was caused from eating too fast.

No it's not. Please fill in your profile so we know more about you and can help you better?

You might want to borrow someone's puter and enter your data so we know what stage you're in? Maybe if you could just post your surgery date? It's hard to advise you without knowing if you're a newbie, had a fill, or what?

Regurgitating is not recommended and a full blown vomit can cause your band to slip. PB'ing is normal but only occasionally. It sounds like you're not eating slow enough, taking smaller bites or not chewing enough? Most of us experience stuck episodes where we have to try to spit up(Product Burp PB) food that is backing up into our esophogus. But it should be rare.

Wow, congrats on the success. Sounds like you might be too tight, or like I said, you're not eating slow enough, small enough and not chewing enough. I know for me it took me 1 year and 1 month before I finally got it through my thick head to follow the rules I've seen hundreds of times.

If you can swallow Soups or slider foods with no problem, you should be OK. Eating small, chewing big is pretty much the same if you do it right and I still get stuck 2-3 times a week myself.

You really need to slow down the eating and only eat until satisfied. For the 1st 2 yrs following my band, I vomited about 1/2 of my meals back up. Last year my band slipped and it's never been the same. It's not normal, I thought it was. I've had to learn to slow down. I learned to eat fast in Army basic training. If you didn't eat in 5 mins, you didn't eat. I still have trouble with it and occasionally vomit, but not often like before.

My 1 word of advice: Try really hard not to bring your food back up (slow down, take smaller bites, stop before full). Your band will eventually have had it and succomb to the pressure! And you don't want that.

Good luck!
