Food Stuck over 2 hours, worst feeling ever!!!



Recommended Posts

So I had one bite of an egg white omelet with ham. BIG MISTAKE. I'm here at work and dying a slow death. It's been stuck for almost 2 hours now. I've been sliming the whole time. Throwing up periodically, obviously nothing coming out but saliva, in chunks! :crying:

Has anyone else experienced this and for this long? Will it ever pass? I feel like there's a tennis ball in my chest that won't go up or down. Please go away!!

Oh Hun I am so sorry!!! I have not experienced this yet but I am sure your very uncomfortable. GOSH I am so sorry, I am not sure if it's slimming but on Saturday I ate a sandwich and it was stuck in my chest and it took a while to go down I kept swallowing and swallowing and started crying out of feeling scared. So maybe I have experienced it huh? I hope it passes sorry I can't give you any advice but your not alone.

I had the same experience at work. I contemplated going to the ER, but decided to try and tough it out. I had eaten some ham steak followed by some salad. No nausea, but major chest discomfort (and I work in a Cardiologists' office too). The sliming started, and I spent about 2 hours back and forth to the bathroom to expell the slime. Never brought up the ham, and maybe one Romaine leaf, and some green slime. Eventually it did subside. If yours does not CALL YOUR SURGEON. People have needed help getting unstuck. If it passes on its own, I would suggest liquids for the rest of the day to give your pouch a rest. If in doubt, call the bariatric surgeon's office. They can advise you.

You shouldn't be experincing that. Call your doctor. They said if i couldn't drink any Water a half hour after, than i need to see them immediately. That kind of stuff can cause your band to slip. Than you have to have recorrective suregery. I can't stress how important it is that you contact your doctor.

You guys should be contacting your doctor way before 2 hours! It's not joke! Not that i think you would take it that way but i made the mistake of waiting and it could have been horrible. I had to have my band deflated and on liquid for two weeks. It sent me into a downward spiral and i gained 10 pounds!

Don't limit yourself on what you can eat. Its about how well you chew and the small bites you take. There is no certain food I avoid except things that are really bready. Those things just make one big ball and clog your hole. :/

Go the nearest Vitamin or health store to get some chewable Papaya Enzyme tablets. Make sure you get the sugar free. The pills I have have sorbitol in them, it's such a small amount that I don't care as long as I get relief. I don't go anywhere with the Papaya enzyme. It gives me almost immediate relief from that stuck pain. Works especially well for Protein.

Good luck.

      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.
