chest pain after eating? is that a stuck episode?



Recommended Posts

Was banded 7/30/13 have a 10 cc band with one fill of 3cc. After eating certain foods ( chicken, meatballs, and omelet sometimes for example it feels like it gets stuck in the bottom of my throat near my chest. Ill burp or hiccup And after like 5 or so mins. It goes away. . Is that what is considered a stuck episode? I'm due for another 3cc fill on the 19th. Should I still get a fill? I usually last 3-4 hrs between meals and some days I'm hungrier than others. I'm sure I'm not in the green zone so I think I should keep my appointment. Maybe just chew better? Any advice would be helpful. . Thank you

i think chewing more would help you a lot. it that works for you then you could consider adding a small tweak something like even .5cc or 1cc at most and see how you do with that. sometimes it's best to ease into the fills because a very small amount can make a huge difference.

That feeling I get when I eat too much or too fast happened tonight. I walk until I burp and that helps me a lot. Chew chew chew are the rules to remember.

I think chewing more and also maybe waiting a lil longer between bites will help...also maybe watch for the soft full signs..if I miss mine then I get that feeling that your having....

I have to remember to chew and eat slow. Thank you...hoping no permanent damage was done.

I'm a nurse and NEVER get an entire lunch break. . I'm eating while working and always feel rushed because there is ALWAYS work to be done. I have to get this figured out because when it happens it hurts!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
