food getting stuck



Recommended Posts

I am pre-band. I keep hearing about food getting stuck. What does that feel like? How often does it happen? What do you do? What if you can't get it unstuck?

Ok, for me this is a tricky subject. When I get food stuck it feel like it is stuck in my throat. It feels like a big golfball stuck and it wont go down or come up. Sometimes it feels like it takes my breath away. Thats usually when I jump up and start to pace the floor but I find this helps me cause I start to bump and then the feeling goes away. I usually dont try to push and eat anything else after that. Although this has never happened to me I know some of the other have PBd when it stays stuck for too long.

I've only gotten a few things stuck, but for me it is an "oh-my-gawd-let-it-stop!" sort of feeling. NOt something you want to have happen. Usually from a bit of food that hasn't been chewed well enough. Although some people can chew something to absolute liquid an still have problems with it.

As for bump, when a thread is inactive for a while, someone will "bump" it so it become active again. Only bump I can think of...

what is bump?

Sorry that was a big typo. I mean I start to burp when I get up and walk around.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
