I havent had my surgery yet but im really nervous about getting stuck. Any advice? TIA

Be sure to wait a good 60 seconds at least in between bites. My experience is that if you are going to get stuck, you'll know it a little bite before it actually happens. Do not eat in front of the tv, far too easy to get distracted!! If you do get stuck don't panic (like I did the first time!) get up and walk and fight any temptation to drink! That's just my 2 cents

I t hink everyone gets stuck eventually. Chew chew chew, the first signs of a stuck is lots of saliva . It's your friend i t helps to get unstuck because if you lean over from the waist and open wide it should slide out.

I think everyone myself included was scared of being stuck, it hurts, but it's really no big deal it comes out. Just stop eating not one more bite leave the table go to the bathroom and get rid of it. It does not have any stomach acid in it so it's not like vomiting it's just improperly chewed food. My worst time is when I am really hungry and if I am visiting with friends and don't chew or eat to fast.
