I'm not sure what did it, but yesterday at lunch I had a few bites of a salad. I think I didn't chew a piece well enough, and it got stuck. I felt like something was lodged above the band. I did my chicken dance and it felt a little better, but still felt like something was lingering there. (I haven't needed to throw up, I didn't PB or anything - I just feel like something is lodged.)

I ate a few bites of chicken last night, and the feeling came back and I stopped eating. Then before bed I took two mucinex pills (i'm sick) and didn't even think about if they would get stuck or not, but they did...or something did.

So I don't know what has truly caused this feeling, but through now I still feel like something is sitting in my pouch, not going down. As stated above, I'm not PB, sliming, or even wanting to throw up. BUT I can feel something sitting there.

I drank some pineapple juice last night, which seemed to move something down, but something still remains (I think).

Could it be that I'm sore/swollen and that's what I'm feeling even though I haven't thrown up? I haven't eaten anything since the chicken last night. I drank only hot chocolate and hot tea so far this morning, and a few sips of pineapple juice. liquids goes down fine.

Any ideas to get this feeling away? I really do think something is sitting there. I've only felt this way when I've been stuck, but never for so long, usually only a few minutes. I would think if it was the pills, they would have dissolved by now.

I've done the chicken dance, the pineapple juice, the bending over and grapping the ankles...what's left?

It is possible that it is swelling for some reason but you may want to call who ever it is that does your fills because they may need to take the Fluid out if something is indeed stuck

Sounds like swelling to me too.. if im stuck nothing goes down, not even liquids. try drinking something warm. like some hot tea or coffee that sometimes reduces the swelling and loosens the band.

This is a little far fetched but you know when you bite the inside of your cheek? It gets all swollen and kind of in the way and so you cont. to bite it and it just gets worse each time. To me getting stuck is the same .. I get stuck and the irritation causes a swelling at the band .. so the odds of my next few bites getting stuck are worse each time. After a good stuck period I go to mushies/sliders for a day or 2 so getting stuck isn't an option.. let the swelling calm down and things tend to be better after that. I also find slow really deep breathes sometimes help to move it down thru the band when stuck

thank you all for your replies. I realized last night it was really swelling! (who would of thought that!). As the day wore on, the stuck feeling went away so that I was able to eat a little bit of fish last night and today I feel fine. I stuck to softer things and liquids today too.

I really think I did get stuck on a piece of salad, and it must have stayed there until I drank the pineapple juice later that evening. So I was swollen.

I sure felt weird! Glad that's done and over with.
