Heard/Felt a "Pop"

[Manda87 3]

I was eating mashed potatoes, and I was getting full. All of the sudden I heard, but most likely felt a pop. This makes me nervous. Could I have slipped my band or have a stitch come out?

No one has any ideas as to what it could be?

I've never felt a pop, but found this old thread on the topic:

Still, I think a call to the doctor would be a good idea.

I agree with Betsy. A call or visit to the doc would at least ease your mind about it. After this "pop" does everything still feel the same? Is eating and restriction still the same?

after the pop did you feel less pressure in your pouch? I think its just the food going thru the stoma. That happens sometimes its not really a pop but more a sudden passing through the opening and relief right? I use the analogy (or rather my doc's office has) of a Water cooler glugging. Can happen w/ liquids too. Is that it?
