Hi - to my knowledge, I've never gotten anything stuck so in wondering what it feels like. Every now & then, when I take a deep breath I get a pain around my band area. Is that being stuck?? I've never vomited or PB'd. I had my WLS on 9/11 and have had two fills (5 cc total in 11 cc band).

Thx for any help!!

You will know. For me feels like something stuck in throat but really in stomach. As soon as you take a bite and feel uncomfortable make sure to stop until goes away or will be worse. Drinking makes worse too. I have an 11cc band too and have 10.5. I didn't feel much until 10 and still not green zone but everyone is different:)

yes you will know, you may get a saliva build up, flem and a slight pain in the chest..walking will help, raising your arms, or bending over the toilet as the last rescource..if you have not felt the need to spit or do any of the above, you have not been stuck..lol..just remember to chew, and small bites..which gets me grrrr...

Thx everyone. I had a piece of cheese on a cracker... Perhaps I didn't chew it as well as I should have! Good feedback on the stuck issue - kinda like "what does a contraction feel like"! You'll know!

From my experience it feels like a brick sitting on my chest.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
