Hello, i am on vacation in the USA, have been banded 3 years, my Dr decided to leave me completely unfilled for my trip so i wouldnt run into any trouble, BUT las night at dinner i got something stuck ( am thinking steamed broccoli/ carrot ) and its nearly 24 hours later and i cannot keep anything down, when i breathe deeply is REALLY hurts, and it hurts bad if i try and drink more than a teaspoon of water, it feels like its blocked. And i foam & slime after drinking that small ammount of water, the whole thing reminds me of when i was filled to capacity and got a small bit of meat stuck, but it came up after an hour, so this time am worried as have no fill, and am terrified i will need surgery to sort it out. last night i kept sipping and vomming hoping to would come up or go down, tried cold water, hot tea, jumping, laying flat, yoga, even hung upside down off the bed, but all to no avail. So my question is three fold, how do i get it to unbudge, could it be slippage, and if so what are the symtoms and what do i do , can i leave it for 4 weeks ? How else , if it is blockage do i get it unblocked, oh and to top it off, i am only 3 days into a 4 week vacation and didnt take out vacation insurance....... And my Dr is away on family emergency leave. So am hoping one of you good American bandaids will come to my rescue !!!!!!

Well , chewed around 12 of the papaya tablets, and about 20 minutes later took a sip of water, then another, than another, THE BLOCKAGE IS GONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt feel it move, but it has gone. RestlessMonkey, i CANNOT thank you enough, you probably just saved me thousands of dollars in hospital bills, i was so worried , not having insurance while on vacation here, thank you thank you thank you !!!:crying: You are truly the best BandAid EVER WOW and i had never heard of that remedy , so will be sure to always keep a bottle on hand, for now am staying on liquids for at least 48 hours, i was even thinking of getting it removed when i went home as i was sooooooo worried, How does the papaya enzyme work ???? :thumbup: Thank you to everyone who answered this post !

Thanks, have never had a problem like this before, we decided to leave it unfilled so i could have a bit more food while here on vacation, do you think it could have slipped ??? Will go out now and find the papaya stuff , how long does it take to work ?
