Just had my first super stuck with PB and vomit episode. Yuck and scary! I are a ricotta bake I have made amy times before. I had three bites and felt huge pain and stuck feelings. I tried to wait it out but then I started sliming and new what was coming next. I ran outside and coughed and it all kinda came up. I feel better now, but sore. I am scared I messed something up! How do you know if you have a slipped band? THining I will go back to liquids for 24 hrs and see how I feel after that.

Yes... you should go back to liquids. You'll know if your band has slipped because you will not be able to keep solids down and you may have reflux. You should be fine tho... I have had this happen many times and I am always worried about slipping too. Just take it easy for a day.

First of all you should go back to liquids, Second I'm going to tell you what I told a lady who was stuck yesterday. First get a tall glass of warm watter, and start slowly drinking it. Now it will either come up or push it threw, and you will feel it drop into your stomach. Even if you throw up, you have to still keep drinking until your pathway from the stomach to the pouch is clear. Could take a couple of glasses, it depends how stuck you are. Either coming up or going down, it has to be moved. Sometimes this can get painful do to the swelling, but you still have to move it. When all else fails go to a Hospital.

As far as Band Slippage. I'm no Dr. !, and I never had slippage. But I understand it is very painful.

Good Luck ! Hope you feel better. Any Questions? You can get a hold of me.

I finally had my first stuck episode last night, and it was as horrible as you all have described. I got my 2nd fill a few days ago and apparently I can no longer eat bread now; I felt like I was choking and then the sliming started. Tried walking around gave me the hiccups; hands over the head made me burp but it still wouldn't come out. After about 5-10 minutes I finally threw up and felt SO MUCH BETTER. Needless to say the dogs got the rest of my bread lol. I'm assuming my best best is to go on soft foods for a few days again now?

I am much better today. Did soft stuff last night. Had regular breakfast and am fine. Hope that never happens again!
