Any Advice on Getting "Unstuck" Quickly?

[Jtcajun 0]

I have been banded for 4 years now.... I always get stuck. It is a part of my life. I always eye ball the restroom locations whenever I go to eat out. Just in case...lol I still have a hard time not over eating, but I am restricted enough to stop at a good point. I actually just "spit" the food out now. Weird...but it works. Doc didn't say anything negative about getting "stuck" He has a Lap band now for over 12 years and says it still happens to him sometimes when he isn't careful. Said his kids called it the "Daddy's got that DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT look" I hope this helps. good luck!!

Glad I am not the only one that uses the Water trick, however my question is how much damage are we doing by bringing the food back up? I recently got a fill and well since I have been getting stuck very regularly.

Thanks

If you are eating small bites, chewing properly, etc which you probably are since you have been banded awhile, you probably just need to have a very slight unfill. It definitely would not be good for us to do this often!!!
