I am looking for any and all experiences, insight, symptoms and relief methods from anyone who has been "STUCK"... Come one come all! Rookies & Veterans Welcome and encouraged to respond!!!

My stuck episodes have been minor so far. I'll feel some pressure for a few min then it passes. I've been banded 5 months, and have had 3 fills. I feel like I'm in the perfect spot. BTW my "mini stucks" happen most often early in the day!!

Thanks! This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for...Real world insights

I got stuck on Water one week after surgery. Think stoma got irritated.

I get stuck if I eat a piece of meat that is too tough (sirloin) or if I eat pretty much anything before 11 am. Bread is tough too.

My advice is to chew carefully and select tender cuts of meat. Otherwise you may puke up stuff and that can lead to slipped band.

I have found some weird things about being stuck lol.

For instance, I just started wearing blue jeans again for the first time in over 18 years. Obviously, blue jeans are considerably tighter around my waist than elastic waist cotton pants. I am twice as likely to get stuck wearing blue jeans as I am elastic waist pants. I have one pair of jeans that are now 2 sizes too big, and I don't get stuck wearing those, but I do get stuck wearing the jeans that fit properly (tighter). So for me, tight clothes make it easier to get stuck.

When I am stuck, if I stand up and walk around it passes much faster than if I'm sitting.

If I can make myself burp a couple times, it usually will make the food pass almost immediately.

Twice I've been really stuck, painfully so, and bending at the waist with straight legs and gently bouncing was enough to force a big burp and get me unstuck.

I know...all weird stuff... but it's what my experience has been with stuck.
