Hi

im 2 months post op,all's been going ok up until now.

I get food stuck from time to time but after the usual pain, PBing, and sliming etc it eventually passes and things return to normal, except for yesterday. Some food got stuck at lunchtime and it was a much longer more painful bout than I've experienced before. I was in too much residual discomfort to even think about eating anything else yesterday so only had a drink. Anyway, today I felt fine when i woke up until I went to have my porridge at Breakfast...one teaspoon and then the pain started so I chucked it all away. At lunchtime I thought I'd try a bit of yogurt ( more liquidy) I had a few teaspoons and was in agony. Eventually after 30 mins of pain, Pbing, sliming etc I threw it up.

What is going on? I am really worried something bad has permanently happened to damage my band since nothing will go down now. I'm worrying about the vomiting, will that have caused a slip? And I'm worrying I'm going to need another op to sort out the problem . has anyone experienced this?

I'd be really grateful to hear from anyone who's had the same thing happen to them.

thanks guys

I cant believe it, it's gone! I can eat again! :crying: the foods going down ok now, oh what joy!!! I couldnt eat for 3 days and then all of a sudden it went. Crikey, something must have been well and truly stuck down there. Anyway panic over, I'm off to have my porridge for breakfast!

Thanks again everyone for replying to my original post. very grateful to you all.

Get some chewable papaya enzyme tablets. Make sure they are sugar free; the ones I have have sorbitol in them. I got them at the Vitamin store. I take them everywhere. I have them in my car, purse, home, office.

Any time I have the stuck pain, I chew a couple and feel relief, sometimes it is almost immediate relief.

Good luck.
