I had my first fill on June 8th. I went out to dinner last night and had my first experience of being stuck. I thought I was going to die. It passed w/in 5 minutes, I was lucky, but I never want to feel like that again. This just goes to reinforce what every person here and every Dr. has said....small bites and chew, chew, chew. I thought I did that, but obviously not enough. Lesson learned!

Chew things you don't think really need to be chewed too! I keep forgetting I have "first bite syndrome" in the mornings and I go to eat a piece of egg or a spoonful of cereal or a piece of muffin and it sticks if I don't chew that stuff. Highly annoying first thing in the morning!

Hello.

I have had food hang about 4 x, it makes me slime and I have throwed up once, like you said not a good feeling but it makes you learn fast, most always its lettuce.

I have 1 of those hand choppers and use it every time I eat lettuce now, seems to work pretty good.

It amazes me that you have gone this long without getting stuck. Congradulations....

I must be a really slow learner, because I get suck way too often. I think I'm chewing, but must not be enough. On top of that I'm not loosng weight. So, I am in a pondery about calling for another fill. So far I've had 2 fills at 1 cc each.

Keep chewing... p
