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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
