Recommended Posts

I have something stuck. I don't even know what because all I had to eat today was a shake and some yogurt. This entire experience has been a nightmare. Im coming on a year and Im miserable. And now this.

Sorry. Im just at my wits end here.

TIA for any advice.

Drink something & see if that doesn't make it come up & out for a few minutes , you may slime but hopefully it will help & you won't be stuck anymore just a suggestion but make sure your by somewhere preferably BA bathroom by the commode so it will come up & out , hope things work out for you.

Hi, drink a couple sips of coke, or pineapple juice. I find if I drink it at room temperture it is best.

Ive never been as "stuck" as you are now, and everyone s different, but something hot to drink ( tea or cocoa) always relaxes the chest /stomach area for me, and that helps the food move. Also adding in a heating pad in the same area relaxes the muscles, and im not so tense, so I can breathe better and focus on getting unstuck. Let us know how it goes !

Hi guys. Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately the hot stuff didn't work. I believe this is a piece of bread stuck. I know I know. Big no no but I was just chewing it and then disposing of it. I also know, gross but I just wanted to taste it. ANYHOW I got distracted and swallowed it. Ugh. It had to come up immediately. I can't even get Soup down now today. My husband is taking me up to my fill center now. Going to see what's up. Ps. Im looking to be more active in here. I need support and hopefully I can help others as well.

Let us know how it goes. Chances are you are probably very swollen from the whole event. Taking out some fill will help and you should really take it easy with foods for a few days to let things settle down. Try staying with liquids and soft mushy food for a few days.

Thank you.

Just got home I don't even want to look at food. LOL

I feel raw and my stomach is gurgling so bad. I guess all that air I was trapping in there as well is moving around.

As soon as it was loosened I felt it drop into my stomach. Kinda gross feeling lol

She took out all 4.5 cc s and put back in 3 until Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks again everyone. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
