How do you know if you have something stuck in your band??????? I think I ate to fast tonight, chicken, and felt uncomfortable for about 45 minutes. Then I've been throwing up, small amounts, for the past hour and a half or so. I tried sipping some water, just to have it come back up a few minutes later. I feel like a dork and don't want to call my doc over something like this. HELP!

It sounds like you have something stuck. Try drinking some pineapple juice. Or mixing some meat tenderizer with Water and drinking that. Those things can help break down the meat or any food.

Personally if I was throwing up for more than an hour or so, I'd call my surgeon.

Good luck and eat slower next time. :whatchutalkingabout

I feel like a dork. It's like I just forgot that I'm banded!!! Won't do that again any time soon, that's for sure. Thanks for the quick reply... I may try the juice. =o)

How are you doing this morning?

I hope you are feeling better this morning. If you are just sliming or pb'ing, you are probably fine and we all go through this until we learn to avoid those things that get us there.

Some people suggest drinking some things but I don't think this works for everyone. I have found that if I drink anything, it has to come up immediately. It just makes it worse. Even if it was a liquid that can help break things down, it doesn't stay in long enough to do anything.

I have found the best thing if I am really stuck is to stand near the toilet, bend at the waist with my mouth open so things come out easier and faster. Gravity helps clear you out sometimes. I don't mean vomiting, I just mean allowing the pb and slime to escape a little easier. This has really cut down the recovery time.

I am much better today, THANKS!!! I continued throwing up for a while, and I knew when it was all out of my pouch. I've eaten just liquids and some lunch meat today; things I know will go through really easy. I figured that everything would be tight from the throwing up so I wanted stuff that would flow easy... Thanks for the advice, I was really nervous there for a while.

Sounds yucky! Hope you don't have this again.
