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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
