How long does a PB take to get out?



Recommended Posts

This may be a weird question but... How long does it take you to get out whatever is stuck/bothering you?

From the time the salivary response goes into overdrive and the sliming begins and then the foaming, etc., it takes me 30-90 minutes just to get to the end of the episode. Fortunately, I work at home and have only had these incidents there, so it's at least manageable. (Though my family wonders where I've gone to when I spend so much time in the bathroom...) I try hard not to force it up since retching/heaving can cause slippage.

But how do the rest of you who live and work outside the home deal with this? :confused2:

My sliming episodes only last a few seconds to under a minute. Get the stuff up and I'm fine...plus it's well lubricated making it easier. It's from the esophogas and my stomach doesn't do anything.

But that's just if I ate more than I should.

If I eat the wrong thing {done it 2-3 times and I avoid that like the plague} then it takes hours. Unlike sliming, this is like gut wrenching thrusts. Feel like I'm going to die, hurts like the dickens, too.

It varies for me as well. I think it depends on how quickly I notice I'm stuck. If it's pretty early on, I can basically lean over the toilet and it comes out. Sometimes, it takes a little more work.

If I'm an absolute idiot and eat something I know will get stuck...I pay the price. Usually a few trips back and forth to the bathroom. My husband says...

"Round two, Angela vs. the toilet.

Round three...etc." Smartass! LOL!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
