I have seen various posts on testing one's lap band . As I understand the test it involves 2 days of full liquids then 2 days of puree. I am wondering how this tests a lap band what are the results if your lap band is okay ? What are the results if it  is not?? Are often should you test your lap band? I decided to go on full liquids today because I thought I might have something kinda stuck  I had a feeling like something was just not swallowed.

Sorry, I have never heard of testing the band. Any change in the volume in the band or vomiting, or getting stuck and you are supposed to go on 2 ays of full fluids, and 2 days of mushies. If you are stuck, you don't wonder about it. But if you have almost gotten stuck, you can irritate the stoma and it feels funny (like things are about to be stuck). It is always better to be gentle on the stoma, than push you luck.
