How often does food get stuck for you?



Recommended Posts

I'm asking for people who have had their band for a while... so say:

1. how often you puke

and

2. how long you've had your band for.

Not sure what you define as "a while", so I may not be what you had in mind :cool: - BUT, I'll give you my answer anyway.

I've only puked once (two weeks ago) - I ate some chicken that was a bit on the dry side....let's just say, I hope to continue my non-puking streak - that was not pleasant.

I do sometimes feel food just sitting there sort of stuck"ish", but it usually goes away within a few minutes so not sure it's a real stuck, KWIM?

1. how often you puke- I'm on my 2nd fill have 5.75cc n a 10cc band and I usally have a pb(stuck) episode at least 2x a wk & the cause is usally eating too fast! I have never "puked" from overeating my band won't allow it if I overeat it jus feels like Thanksgiving dinner but for 3hrs!! Uggh!:smile:

and

2. how long you've had your band for- lapband date was March 16,2010.

I've been banded for 5 months (Feb 2010) and after my last fill, I've been having "stuck" issues about 3 times a week...I'm slowly learning what works and what doesn't-Meanwhile I'm a work in progress:scared2:

I get stuck maybe twice a week and almost always because I am careless.

I've been banded 4.5 months and have never puked.

I have been banded since 2/27/10...I've never had a PB episode, but I have "stuck" problems 2-3 times a week, driven by how fast I eat, how big a bite I've taken, and how thoroughly I chew. It's VERY uncomfortable, and you think by now I'd know better than to set myself up for it, but I get focused on something else, and I kinda forget about my band!

Hope this helps!

Banded since October 2009

Since my last fill in May I PB 3x a week and have had some PB/throwing up combo about once a week.

I too have the stuck feeling that usually passes with movement.

I had a really bad stuck incident in April by eating a Triscut. God, It was hours before that thing passed/came up!

Like others, most "incidents" are self inflicted by rushing, over eating or a stupid choice.

Annoying that a 'good' food can suddenly become a 'bad' one.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
