I am two plus years post banding and had a fill for the first time in 11 months on 12/21/09. I won't bore you with all of the details of why it has been so long. Anyway, I have been doing great since then, made it thru the "battlefield" that is the holidays without making any really huge mistakes with my food choices. I am measuring my food, sticking to the game plan and getting exercise. Way better than I had been doing for a year! Everything was okay all day yesterday I ate without any problems until lastnight at supper time. I prepared my food like always (oven baked chicken, and a little bit of broccoli) chewed like always maybe even a little bit more than usual and got horribly stuck. I was in SO much pain it was unbearable! :wub: My 12 year old daughter was really concerned since she has never seen me that miserable. To be honest it's been so long since I have had a "stuck episode" that I don't remember if there is anything to help get unstuck or not. Anyway since lastnight everything I have attempted to eat has gotten stuck or hurt. Is it possible that getting plugged up after so long irritated my stomach so badly that I need liquids for a few days? Or maybe it could be that my fill finally kicked in???? Which would be awesome btw! I am kinda lost any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Go with liquids, let the irritation in your band go down! I would give it atleast one full day!

Yes, after a bad stuck episode, my stomach can be touchy for a couple of days. Got with mushies for a day or two and see how it goes.

Best wishes!

yep i learned the hard way with this, go with fluids or soft foods for a few days,let the opening settle itself down

My doc instructed me that after a stuck episode to always finish out that day with fluids only.
