Got Something Stuck While Eating



Recommended Posts

Hey guys - not sure if i pb'd or slimed as this is my first experience with this. I wasn't paying attention and swallowed too big of a bite and it got stuck. I felt like i was going to die. But remembering what others have said i chose not to panic and got up and started walking around. Not wanting to puke in public i made my way to a bathroom where i just stood there expecting it to come up. But it did not,. It jsut sat there and i started having to spit because i was filling up with saliva. a few clearings of my throat the pressure/stuckness seemed to pass. nothing came up but spit but i am worried a little about it. Any help will do.

I wouldn't worry about what happened. I have had this problem a couple times when I forget I have a band and eat to fast or to large of a bite. I consider it a put myself in check moment. I find making myself burp helps to fix the problem quicker.

You'll be fine. It happens to all of us at one point or another. I've pb'd probably 20 times over the course of a year and you eventually learn to walk, yoga and different things to keep from actually throwing up. Sorry you had to go through this but hope it wasn't too bad.

Hugs,

I just had my fourth episode last night. I wanted a quick piece of meat (I know better) before I went outside to change Water (we have a few irrigated acres). If a neighbor was watching they must have thought I'd taken up chewing tobacco, cause man I was doing some "spitting". Finally cleared it.

Next time I'll wait til I'm done and take my time....

sure do. I have to slow down and th best thing I have found is to get up and walk around. DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING...IT WILL MAKE YOU WORSE AND FEEL LIKE VOMITTING.

I got banded 10/23/07. I nitice that I get the hiccups more anybody else get them??

hiccups are a sign that your stuck. I think it's your body's way of trying to unstuck food in your esophagus. I don't know..but it's really annoying and happens all the time to me. I usually just end up pb'ing..which I'm sure is not good. But the hiccups are painful and annoying. PB and they are magically gone

Apple juice has really helped me when something gets stuck. It may take a few sips but works wonders.

      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!
