Oh! Thank you so much for explaining the PB. I kept reading it & wasn't sure what it was. If I do have stuck food, and I will burp but nothing comes up! I also saliva, & saliva, & saliva. I get real hot and start panicking. It seems like forever, but you are right about walking around. It seems to help. I always go outside to cool off. Scarey! I hate it!

No, I don't get a stomach ache, but I am so scared it will happen again that I usually go back to jello, or pudding, or something I know will not hurt again! Liquids for life if it keeps happening!

Hi! After my 1st fill, I did not go on liquids. I had read several people's comments about being on liquids. So after my fill, I asked my doctor, so I go back to liquids for a few days. And he said no. I can definitely feel the restriction and had trouble with some foods that I had eaten before for a couple of days, but now it is better. Just have to eat small bites and chew, chew, chew. Good luck!

My fill did not hurt at all! I was so relieved. My doctor gave me a topical numbing shot so the big shot did not hurt me at all. I did not feel anything. I watched my dr. the best I could while laying down flat and he put a small round bandaid on me when he was done. He said he was through and I was shocked that it did not hurt. I love my dr.

Awesome! Good job! I cannot wait til I can say that!

I have had breakfast sausage and ham get stuck, and salmon got stuck twice on different weeks. I may not be able to eat it but I love it. When things get stuck I know that I am either eating too fast, too much, or not chewing enough. I never realized that I eat so fast, especially at work when I am in a hurry! I gotta slow it down some more. I have not had my first fill yet and I am so afraid to have one now. I hate it when things get stuck! It hurts so bad! However, that is the whole purpose of the band... to get fills.
