I've seen some people post about the "stuck" feeling. I'm wondering if someone can describe the feeling and what signifiance it has. I have been eating (10 days post now) and I keep getting this feeling of a ball like "stuck" feeling just above where my port is. Any ideas?

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!

Oh my goodness Ajw725......thats horrible! I hope you are doing better now. its so weird how the band effects everyone differently. May our good Lord bless you with a speedy recovery.

Im having a stuck issue as I type....its not very bad....

I went out for dinner with friends last night and had haddock...it was very dry...I did eat very slow...small bites...but I got stuck...I wasnt hurting to bad so I thought OK i did it....but got home and had a glass of Water...OMGAWD...it sat right there and te pain was unreal...I spent a good 30 mins trying to bring it all up....

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

here it is 4 and I tryed to get down a small piece of fish mashed in apple sause down and NOPE..not gonna happen...so one bite and i stopped....going to wait a while and try some yogurt.....~fingers crossed~

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.

oh it passed hun...thanks for caring...but it wasnt that bad...just keeps me grounded to eatting slow....chew chew ....hugs thanks Hun

Ohhh Dee, I'm so happy for you!!!
