First almost stuck episode.



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill on Monday and today I ate a peice of turkey and cheese for lunch and I guess I swallowed without chewing too good and I felt it go down weird. I took a sip of a drink and I felt the coldness trickle down with the food sooo weird. I'm just glad it passes down. Neverrrrrr want to get stuck lol.

I am so afraid of that! Still on liquids so it's not a concern quite yet.

My dr makes me do liquids for a few days after a fill. Maybe you should try that till the swelling goes down?

Ok how do you know something is stuck? I'm 9 days post-op and still on liquids but I'm curious. I hear it's painful, what are you supposed to do?

The food went down when I drank but you feel the good it's hard to explain its kind of gross feeling. I got nauseas too and my husband said the look on my face lol. I felt the drink like coldly go down and I guess it was trickling through the food idk how to explain in, and then I felt the food pass. I'm just glad it didn't stay stuck.

I did mushy food until wed night like the doc said. I guess I just ate too fast and have to get used to more restriction as before this fill I had nothing in the band.

Stuck hurts and when it happens you will be like "ohhhh okay now I know lol" it feels like a lump is in your chest and it goes through in a min or two. Sometimes if you sit up straight and don't slouch it will go through.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
