I have been initiated! 1st stuck episode

It was bound to happen eventually. I just didnt expect it to early. I have 5cc in a 14cc band. I probably went wrong with leftover turkey and sweet potatoes. Had Fluid building up in my mouth that no matter how many times I spit it out, it still came back. Finally decided to let it come up. Feeling much better.

My dilema is that I was to have another fill tomorrow. I am relocating from Dallas to California and thought I would have one more fill as it would probably take me awhile to get settled and find a new doctor. Now I am reconsidering my decision and may call off my fill tomorrow. Nothing worse than having another stuck episode on a new job.

Ohhh---I am so sorry this happened to you....

I haven't had a stuck episode YET........I know it is just a matter of time.

I know, from what I have read here, that after a stuck episode your stomach is irritated. I am not sure a fill right away is a good idea, but again, I don't have any first hand knowledge.

Good luck with your move!

I would still go for the fill. Just keep in mind to stick to liquids for a bit and move on to more solid stuff very slow.

Go for the fill. Turkey, especially Thanksgiving type, is tough to eat. Sweet potatoes can be tough too. It was a incident related to the type of food. If you don't get stuck on your everyday type choices, get the fill.

My 1st was just this past Saturday with salmon. Too big of bites, not chewing well, so my own fault. It wasn't as bad as it could have been but it felt miserable. Surely a learning lesson! blink.gif

I went for the fill (not because of the posts, but because I though it was the right thing to do) and had 1 cc put in. Now 5 days later I still have one side of my band that "feels" food or Water going down. I am going to try to have an unfill this Thursday. I thought if I was swollen it would have gone down by now, but maybe not.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
