I had my surgery three years ago and usually I do pretty well with it. I have been seriously stuck once and had to go to my doctor and get an unfill to let it pass. I got my surgery in Phoenix in high school. I am now a freshman in college three hours away, and I have had something stuck for about three days. I tried meat tenderizer yesterday because I think it was a part of a roast that got stuck. That didn't work. So I'm wondering if anyone has any other tips for something that's been stuck for awhile. Should I keep trying to meat tenderizer? Maybe it takes multiple tries to break it down? Or does anyone know any good doctors in Tucson that could help me? It's really painful and I hate being away from my doctor. Help please!

Chew on 3 papaya tablets! It's a natural enzyme and it helps me every time! I feel relief within 5 minutes! You can get them at Walmart or Walgreens in the Vitamin section for about 5 bucks. Good luck!

How much did they take out? I'm going to drive to El Paso day after tomorrow to see my surgeon for an unfill. Its a 4 hour drive each way, but I am having a hard time getting much down. I hope he doesnt take TOO much out... just enough so I can drink more liquids! I'm sooooooo thirsty! :)

He only ended up taking about half out, but he thinks that should actually be a good amount so I might not need to get it filled again. Good luck!

Thanks! I lost 6.5 lbs in 2 weeks and he was concerned. I ended up having 2.5 cc taken out and I felt an immediate difference. Hopefully it wont be too much out. I have an appointment in January, just in case I need a tad more put in. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
