I think you should get to the dr. ASAP--he might make you have an esophogram to check band placement, etc.

did you call the dr. yet? Please call him/her!!

Thank You, I Will Follow Ur Advice.

Please let us know what the dr. advises. I am very interested in hearing that you're ok--because i'm newly banded--i want to hear about what happens down the road. I hope to hear that you saw the dr. and things turned out well. Even if they don't turn out well--please post about it.

Thanks,

and best wishes,

If your health has not changed and the problem came on suddenly, it's best to consult with your surgeon. How have you done with the band? Is this your first problem? Good luck on getting a resolution quickly and feel better soon.

I Had One Fill In Mexico, Where I Had The Surgery Under Fluoro. The Doc Is Wonderful. No Problems Like This Previously. I Have Noticed That After I Eat Certain Foods Like Rice, Chicken(white Meat) I Tend To Have Some Minor Problems With Digestion That Is Usually Alleviated With Drinking Something. It's Just That This Time That Stuck Feeling Just Didn't/won't Leave.

well first call ur doctor as 1 priority

I get stuck feeling with yogurt and I wait and then drink hot tea and it helps .

I had only one episode where something similar happened. I had steak for dinner and did not chew it enough. I felt that "stuck" sensation all night and slept horrribly. The next morning, I woke up, had a cup of coffee and was beginning to take my pills and vitamins when I knew I HAD to get the the bathroom ASAP. I vomited up the pills and out came a tiny piece of steak. After that, I was perfectly fine.

Hot liquids and moving around seem to help many people "move" food that is "stuck" and alleviate the pain. Give that a try... tea, coffee, cup-a-soup, etc.

Hi Everyone,

Just A Quick Update, I Was Feeling Really Bad Yesterday When I Asked For Advice, Did Contact My Md., Who Recommended Prilosec And Reglan Along With Liquids Only For A Week. I Started Taking The Meds And Along With The Esophagus/tummy Resting I Feel A Ton Better, Also The Stuck Feeling Is Gone. Thanks To Everyone For Their Support.

Was Just Wondering If Anyone In Illinois Particularly From Chicago Was Banded In Mexico Would Like To Chat From Time To Time Or Just As A Means Of Support.
