I have had my lap band for more than a year now . . . I was hungry tonite and eating carrots, didn't chew well enough and think I have one stuck. I cannot get much of anything down, have reflux when it can come up and have vomited some. Meanwhile it feels like something is in there. Any suggestions on what I can do? Do I need to go to the hospital? It is pretty painful!

Ugh, raw carrots.

If something is actually STUCK in the stoma for me, I'll keep sliming and pbing until it is free. This has only happened to me once or twice, however it can be a long drawn out affair.

More often, what I'll find is a bite doesnt go down well, it feels stuck and comes right back up. Things dont actually get truly lodged very often.

However after a stuck episode, I can feel tender, and not be able to eat properly for quite a while. Usually I recover in about 10 minutes, but once or twice I've felt it prudent to put myself on liquids for 24 hours. It can cause a lot of inflammation and irritation.

If its truly still STUCK, I'd say you'd be sliming and vomiting still. But you know your body.
