Can "Stuck" occur at any fill level?



Recommended Posts

Question on getting stuck: Does this or can this occur if you are not fully restricted or at sweet spot yet? Because this happens to me occasionally but I don't feel that I'm near optimal fill level yet. Thanks guys :)

I believe it can even though it never happened to me. I was a few fills in before I started getting food stuck.

Yep! Too big of bites and/or not chewing enough. I get it sometimes when I'm not paying attention.

Sure can. I'm only 8 weeks out and haven't had a fill yet. Mom made some clam chowder and if you love clams, you know how hard they are to chew into small pieces. In fact, you can't. You have to chop 'em up before you cook 'em. Anyway, the clams were chopped so I thought I'd be okay. Wrong! I was in pain for about an hour.

I'm at 7.2cc in a 14cc band, and I get stuck occasionally, most often after eating broccoli, no matter how it's cooked. Go figure... :)

Ahh yes. I have gotten stuck on realllly dry chicken breast (I eat most chicken so this was strickly a texture issue); and baby carrots. The carrots I was super hungry and did'nt chew them enough. This happened to me several fill levels.

Yep, it can. I got stuck and pb'd about a week ago on ham and salad in a large bread roll and I have no fill. Have had my band for 5 years, have been unfilled 4 months, so there's no swelling, no post op adjustment, no learning to eat, it just happened. I was having a coffee at the same time, and I guess bread + liquid still swells up in your tummy and I guess even an unfilled band does create a bit of a pouch.Before I knew it, I was sliming and had to go and bring it up.

definitely. I've had no fill for the last two years and still make sure I know where the restroom is when we go to a new restaurant.

      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!
