Well some say your not truely a bandster until you feel the punch of a PB. Count me as official!

About 3 weeks ago I had my 1st. Thank goodness I was with my mom who knew about the surgery. Dry chicken was the culprit. I made myself throw-up & it took 45 mins of slime & pain & 3 throw ups to go away.

The second was minor just about a week later & lasted only 10 mins. I simply ate too fast.

But last nite was the whopper of all PBs.

Infact when I compair the last two they don't even count.

It was over an hour long & was HORRIBLE chest pain. Crying, drippy nose, huge pain in gut & chest & I was sooo scared.

I had ate the toppings to pizza about 4 slices. The nite before I ate 2 slices no problem. Just the top-no bread. Well day old pizza must be a different beast. I will never eat it again. I made myself throw up to try & release the pressure & it helped but barely. Than I began to throw up all on my one. Very hard & fast. It was actually violent. I tried calling my Doctor & spoke w/an assitant. I could barely talk to her & she really couldn't help, all she said was wait it out & she was so sorry I had to go through this. Also if it continues for another 2 hours go to the hospital. I knew there wasn't anything she could do. The slimes were horrible & many & I was so tired at this point. Than I threw-up again! This time I think everything came up & out & the pressure on my chest was finally gone.

Today my gut & chest & weirdly my side on the right are very very very bruised feeling. I have been staying home all day & barley doing anything. Yes I am sticking to liquids. My throat is sooo sore. The doctors office called to check up on me- how cool is that!!! They are so wonderful. I feel blessed to have gone to them. Well the only bright side is maybe I can break this weight plateau I've been at forever. I just wish it wasn't this way.

I have only 1cc in by the way. I usually never feel alot of restriction. Just sometimes in the morning & once in awhile some days in the afternoons. Isn't that weird?? I hope tomorrow I don't feel this soreness. Well I guess I am no longer a PB virgin;0)

My number one goal is to remain a PB virgin : )

That whole thing scares me to death, but that's what I've needed all along to motivate me....fear.....

omg!!! you had to get an UNfill in the ER?!?!?!?!?! you poor thing. I hope that things get better for you. That sounds so horrible! I wish you both speedy recoveries. I will continue to be diligent in my chewing...thank you for shareing your experiences here so that others may learn from them. wow that is so scarey!

I had my first PB this morning. I was filled on Feb 7th for my first fill. So on my way to work this morning I stopped at McDonald's for a coffee and egg mcmuffin. After a few bites of that, it got stuck while I'm driving to work. I kept heaving slime and small pieces of food into a napkin. This continued for 15 minuetes, until I ran out of napkins. Good thing I keep a supply of fast food napkins in my car. Yes it is miserable. But it will remind me to take smaller bits and chew more thouroghly. And maybe even certain breads will have to be a no no. I suspect this PB'ing will get worse after I get more fills, so I will really have to be even more careful after each fill.

Hi,

I have had 4 fills now,

I had a bad stomach flu right after I got through with the liquid stage after the fill, The heaving was so violent, none like I have ever had, I felt like I got beat up for days!!

And now I am finally eating solids again.

I have never had PB or stuck or slime, I do not wish to experience it either. However, I don't know if I really have restriction either. I still can eat quite a bit, I am less hungry though. I feel a pressure in my chest pretty much 24/7 with or without food or drink. Is this restriction?? What the heck is this annoying feeling?? It is sort of like the irritating feeling after you drank something and it went down the "wrong pipe" and you cough and cough, but your lungs are left feeling irritated.

Does anyone know what I mean??

Is this normal to have this feeling all the time regardless if I have eaten or not?
