So, I've been getting stuck quite a bit lately. I have an Upper GI scheduled for next week and am probably going to have a tiny bit of fill removed after that. I urped my lunch yesterday. When I got home from work I found a newly invented "Lap Band Assistive Device" from my DH.

See attached photo! It is labeled "DJ Lap Band Assist Device" ---DJ is me. What a goof he is!

That's hilarious!

OMG hilarious. So great.

Denise,what a great sense of humor your husband has. I love it. He can probably make some extra money by "selling" them to some of us. When I'm home alone and have gotten stuck, I do the heimlich on myself with the top of the back of our kitchen stool. Perfect height and it works. Not that it happens often thank God but it helps me.

OHH that is priceless!!!!! hysterical

very funny!!!!

LOL!! That's hilarious!

Lol! Very funny

Goodness, that is very ummm, inventive c:

Very interesting "assistance"! My husband always asks about "roto-rooter". By the way, I tried coke as a roto-rooter the other day, it works wonders! When my son was in Spain, he met a nurse from New Zealand who said this was what they used for blockage. Best wishes, Karen

LOL....too funny! Through this journey we have to keep a sense of humor for some of the situations we find ourselves in. It sounds like the hubs is onboard and supports you in all ways. Remember he is laughing *with* you.

LOL......thanks for sharing.

I keep a barf bag from the last flight I took in my glovebox ...... just in case I ever need it. I have a couple family members that get a kick out of it.

Sense of humor is oh so very important!!

Hubby says they are for sale and he will personalize each!!

I carry one of those poop bag rolls from the pet store in my purse. It is in a cute little duffle bag. Our dog goes places with us often, so it's nice to never forget them, and I get the added benefit of always having a bag with me for "just in case." Haven't used them for that, but the insurance is nice.

I too was getting stuck a lot and had lots of reflux at night suddenly I'm not stuck but still have restriction. He needs to invent some to prevent splash back those would sell like crazy. Haaa had a public bathroom splash that made me endup empting my stomach. Yuck!!!! Good luck with upper GI I plan on having one if reflux doesn't clear up soon sleeping with head of beds at 45 degrees is not very comfort but helps reduce reflux.

Oh like the barf bad ideas I've been keeping empty drink cups in cup holder but those bags just might be answer for public bathrooms. Haaa

Getting stuck HURTS! It gets to the point that if the food isn't going down, then it's coming UP! I have what I call an "in-case-a-cup" in the car all the time--just in case! Public bathroom splashback I handle by first getting a big wad of toilet paper and then I throw up into the wad of paper. Probably tmi...! Sorry, but it does prevent the splashback! My husband doesn't understand that this isn't really the same as vomit--this is just saliva and chewed up food--still, he gets totally grossed out. It's not my idea of ideal, but it is what it is.

Get it checked out....I had the same problem and ended up having a slip...no fun.....I wish my dr. Had told me if you have reflux get it checked right away, I think I could have avoided a slip. Goodluck!
