HELP! What is "stuck" ?



Recommended Posts

I thought I had a general idea of what getting stuck would be like.... but now I am getting confused :unsure:. I don't think it has happened to me, but then again I'm not sure what it would be like. Can anyone who has been "stuck" explain or tell me what it was like for you. I would really appreciate it, I am new at this and trying to relearn all of the eating sensations, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help !! ;)

Oh sweetie, you will KNOW when something is stuck or you are eating too fast, or you didn't take small enough bites. The pain between your breasts will let you know in a NY minute. You will think you are having a heart attack! Don't try to drink anything thinking it will help...it will only make it worse. Take deep breaths, bend from the waist several times and hope it passes. Papaya tabs will help too sometimes. Don't make yourself vomit. You will probably have some slimming too. Sometimes, you might burp and you'll get some relief. The nice thing is that the pain will go away as fast as it came when the food passes thru. Good luck. I hope you never have to experience this feeling.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
