Stuck feeling??/

[hely88 883]

Most of the time I get stuck not to much pain just keep burping up what I ate and if doesn't go down on its own usually comes back up. I was also told papaya enzymes for a stuck.

I've experienced the stuck feeling too. Puts me right back on track. Slow down and think before I eat a bite. I'm afraid of messing up a good thing. Glad for the physical reminder. That's what I call my lap band message board.

I ended up in the ER FTOM THAT STUCK FEELING! Here I was Christmas eve. Waiting for emergency surgery! A piece if shrimp that I did NOT chew properly, along with the peel, got stuck. Lodged in me. The pain was unbearable feeling like I was having a. Heart attack. After an hour if not being able to get it up is when a family member called the surgeons office. Within minutes i was at the ER !! Into the operating room i went for an endoscopy. !!I am back on liquids, progressing slowly to mushys for 10 days. I still feel horrible.

Calling the Dr tomorrow because I am feeling sick to my stomach. Ughhhh!

This morning just sipping a slim fast was hard.....

Dee, try a few sips of a carbonated beverage it might help you get it up as you belch! If not , do not waste time and call your surgeons office or better yet, get to the hospital. I am still suffering and also I have ulcers in my esophagus that were not there prior to surgery! Keep us posted!

I barely had a cup of broth today and slowly sipping on Water.< /p>
