I know now what it feels like to be stuck....I was eating some deli meat at my desk at work and the phone rang, so I wasn't able to chew it up good and swolled it almost whole. Now my asophagus hurts and my stomach feels like I have a rock in it. Any suggestions on how I can get this to go down? I got to thinking about it, how does it break up and go down when there aren't any stomach acids in there to break it up?

Ok this sounds silly...but I actually did the same thing on lunch meat last week at a friends house....I was talking and eating and forgot to chew, chew ,chew...I knew instantly what I had done. I actually started to break out in a sweat!!...I felt it in my back something aweful....I didn't know what to do...and realy didn't want her to know what was going on so when she went down stairs to get the laundry I went and hung myself off the bed kind of upside down. the gravity made the food come back up.....Worked....not for sure if it happens again how many places will have a place for me to hang upside down, but just another technique we can put in our arsonal for another time-haha

Hope you are feeling better now

Hahaha, I don't mean to laugh but that was a great visual.... I think it sounds like a good idea and will try it when I go to bed.

Water makes it worse but sometimes helps you get it back up...sounds gross but sometimes you need to put a finger in your throat to gag it up.

I end up taking a large swallow of Fresca WHILE i'm standing over the toilet. That usually helps get it all out. Sometimes I will vomit for 2 hours strait, and nothing else helps. After doing this a few times that usually clears me up. Good luck!

I'm having a heck of a time going to sleep...I'm affraid to throw up, it wont hurt anything?

Got stuck for the first time today. Tuna that was too dry. Wasn't painful but very uncomfortable.

Trying jumping up and down. My brother says it works like a charm He went from being 429lbs to his current weight of 165lbs.

It happend today first time, i walked around and took deep breaths, all from eating to dang fast. was just a boiled egg.

Water can help either bring it back up, or soften the food enough that it will slide through the band. I also find that leaning back and arching your back as far as u can go helps as well. Stand up take deep breaths too.

Yeah, I've been told not to take a drink. But sometimes when it's stuck like there's no tomorrow I'll take a drink anyway because that sucker is coming up if I do. At least then I get relief.
