Can the band break?

[amber81499 6]

I have a very unsupportive friend that told me if I eat something that's too big it can break the band. Can this really happen?

I believe that cannot happen from some of the lapband books that I've read dont talk about breaking while eat

you can't break it from eating food that are too big

the food that you do eat and its to big can go down it will get stuck and then it will come back up and make you vomit thats why they say eat small bites

Don't think so. As stated, food can get stuck but it's not going to break the band, just make you miserable

my answer is no too. it would just become stuck and come back up with a whole bunch of slime. and why would anyone with a band eat anything so big anyways. you can put this fear back to bed.

I'm in agreement, no way can the band break. The bNd can slip BUTnot break
