hmmmm, must be the acid in the pineapple. tomato juice should do the same then. Or any acidic product that ALLOWED.. I always say call the doctor! They always have an on call physician, good ones.Please dont take this as gospel, and I dont endorse, but I looked yer issue up the other night, and at some point it was suggested a small amount of warm water, with just a sprinkle of meat tenderizer, is supposed to undo a bad "stuck." IT SOUNDS VERY WEIRD and thats why I remember it no doubt. Anyhoo thats what I read, but please read my disclaimers! LOL! Sandy

Yes gorditas is now a no no for me lol and I heard warm water works also but in my case nothing was working so had to her unfilled .

I have learned keep a room temp can of soda and tip a tiny sip and wait. If the food doesn't go through try another tiny sip. It usually will make me burp or a weird feeling then the food goes through. Its the carbonation that helps move the stuck food. This is the only time I drink soda but usually two tiny sips does the trick.

One nutritionist said.that she heard of.people using.tenderizer (msg). But I'm not sure if it is mixed with a little water or taken dry NPR do I know how much, but I would not think it would be a lot.

OMG I hope you're ok

The best thing for being stuck is what they call “drano”. I was stuck about 4 days last Thanksgiving. I was not too tight just stuck. But I could still drink some liquid slowly. Another Bandster told me take some hot coke and mix some meat tenderizer and lemon juice. Go to bathroom and take one big drink and it will go down and right back up with whatever is stuck. It works trust me, in 3+ years I have only used this twice but works fast. You must be ready cause it will shoot back up lol

½ cup diet coke, (diet sprite, etc.) 3 teaspoons meat tenderizer, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, it is gross but works and very fast.

Funny how we are talking about being stuck, and I just had a incident with being stuck but didn't need the remedy

It could have also been that perhaps u were slightly too tight and the substance of the food wouldn't let it pass the too small opening. This happened to me and luckily I was fine after my dr took out one CC. If it ever happens again and it may, go in the same day u notice it will keep your band from slipping.

Good luck.

I cannot even imagine having something stuck for 2 days!!! I would be beside myself for sure. So glad it worked out OK and definitely a reminder to me to be diligent in the chewing and food choices!

It's just me but I would not go in and have Fluid taken out if I was stuck until I tried everything. I think messing with your fill level leads to problems. I understand why people do but I would not, but thats just me.

Where can I buy the ingredients for the drano ?

For the love of God, dont go to a a hardware store and ask that question.I am in know way questioning your intelligence or trying to insult you. I'd hate to have a teenager or such come online and read the before mentioned post. HEY, IT HAPPENS!

"Drano" is a highly toxic product used to open up industrial strength clogs and such in plumbing of a building home etc. POISON and I hope I dont sound stupid for typing this, just want to make sure ya know what is what! She was using an analogy, not a very good on IMHO! Drano should never be swallowed by anyone!!! Its Poison! Sandy
