I was banded in July and never had a problem till this last week.

Almost daily I have felt a little sticking while eating...tried to slow down.

Last night we went out to dance and party. Had a few goodies, no problem.

Went to Taco Cabana afterward and tried one bite of a soft taco.. then one bite of chips & queso...terrible stuck feeling immediately and I threw up that chip & queso in the restroom and didn't eat again.

This morning my hubby made me eggs & bacon. One bite of bacon one bite of cheesy egg and I felt that really bad sticking again and my mouth watered as if readying to relieve the stomach again. I even tried to drink Water and it felt more stuck.

I can't reach the surgery center as it's the weekend.

I wonder if anyone has suggestions for me that may be useful?

I am sipping water now, which seems to be going down alright.

Happy Halloween!

Sometimes after you get stuck, your stomach becomes irritated and inflamed. I would give it time to rest and stick with Clear Liquids until you can get in touch with your Dr. Eating anymore food at this point will likely make your problem worse. I know I have certain times when for no reason my band feels tighter, and food doesn't work. After a day or two on clears I am back to normal. Hope you feel better!

Thank you! I was thinking this may be necessary. I will try this and call them on Monday.

Its is very true. One episode leads to more discomfort. Take it easy and children's liquid Mortin or IB can help keep inflamation down.:Yawn:

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
