I had a calcium chocolate chew (which were fine uptil now) then started slowing eating salmon. The Salmon got stuck immediately. It's now the next morning and I can't drink anything....could I still be stuck?.... or have i slipped the band? Way to early to call doc but I'm not a happy camper ...bad heartburn too. Anything I need to addresss immediately?

If you can't even swallow water then you should call your doctor soon...you can quickly become dehydrated. I wouldn't worry too much but it does need to be addressed. I am often tight in the morning and after being stuck last night you may just need to give it a couple more hours but don't wait too long.

Thank you Jodi...i was starting to get nervous this morning because I still had heartburn and coudn't drink my coffee and water wasn't going down too well but thankfully after an hour I was able to drink plenty of water and I had 1/2 a cantaloupe! whew...You start to get thirsty quickly when you can't drink!! This is definitely something to be aware of thank you.

Hi:

I'm glad you're feeling better. I've heard that if you do get stuck it's best to go to fluids for the next 24 hours, then mushies for 24 hours, then regular fluids. I think that they recommend this because you can be swollen after having been stuck.

I love my band!

I love my band too Sue....she fixed me!

Thanks for the good advice too :

Hi Sooverit,

I found those calcium chew tended to lower the acidity of my stomach and made it difficult for me to digest especially difficult things like Protein. Try not to eat them near a meal if you can avoid it.

Thank you Violet I'm being careful with them....they do get stuck ...I like your photo
