I am begging everyone and anyone to help!

Brandy,

I know that you say that it won't hurt the band...and I agree with you... but there is evidence that the more restriction you get that there is a possibility that the food will become lodged as the liquid pushes it through the stoma. While every Dr. is different, and I do recognize that, mine stressed that it's important to note that in the beginning stages that food will just wash through the stoma but after more and more restriction becoming stuck becomes more of an issue. So...while it is up to the individual person and the choices they choose to made...there is also sound proof that there are other factors involved.
