I am 3 weeks out and just started eating solids. I have got some food stuck and dont know what to do? It hurts like crazy.

Burp..

Try and make yourself burp and usually it makes me gag and it comes right out.

Do not drink any liquid, that will NOT make it better, only worse.

I forgot to ask, what did you eat that is stuck? That might make a difference.

Hello,

I've had my band for a little over 2 years.... food can get stuck and I know it HURTS. This can happen from not chewing the food enough or eating way to fast. Sometimes if I eat a few bites quickly I get a really bad pain and it feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. In really bad cases I might end up dry heaving or throwing up just a little... sorry I know thats gross. The best thing to do is stop eating and let it work its way past. Whenever it happens to me I just sit back and try to breathe. I also tend to rub the uppper part of my chest where the band is underneath... not sure the rubbing does much besides making me feel like I'm helping (lol) Sometimes a little Water might help, but usually I just have to wait for the pain to subside. If it continues to hurt for an extended period of time (like hours) I would def. seek medical attention.

Hope this helps
