Yes, *IF* ithe food is chewed thoroughly it *usually* won't get stuck. Some foods, however, for different people, will ALWAYS get stuck. My darling wife is one of the few folks who will always get stuck on bread and pasta :( My problem is that I'll just forget to chew so well before trying to swallow.
Lap Band has been incredible, though, just in the fact that I now eat like a *human*. You know those hilarious Nutritious Information Panels they put on foods instead of a Bazooka Joe comic strip? The ones that say a "Suggested Serving" is ridiculously small, like a Totino's Party Pizza having 4 servings per pizza? After the Lap Band, I find that those suggested serving sizes fill me up just fine! No more "Ooh 4 for $5 that's a good price for a single meal"! It's really cool to be able to go in to any fast food joint and be terrified of the ludicrously huge portion sizes you get for a buck :)
Fish tends to be a very dry food unless it's nice and fresh, and even then it's pretty easy to over cook... we try fish every summer with mixed degrees of success.

Thanks for the advice, though
