Can't burp and don't really vomit...stuck is painful!



Recommended Posts

I just wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat as me?

I can't burp or belch- I have never have been able to even after a pint of coca-cola! I hardly ever vomit and the last time I can remember must be about 10 years ago.

I got banded on 9.9.09 and am at good restriction.

My difficulty is when I get stuck - I really get stuck because the only way it can go is down.

Yesterday I had a Migraine and did not realise in time, and took medication a bit late so did not manage to abort it. In conseqence I was laid low and spend till 3pm in bed so did not get up to eat until the evening when I struggled and got stuck.

Usually I am tight in the morning and don't eat till lunchtime. A migraine tends to stop your stomach emptying, and this combined with the fact that I tried to eat only a few hours after I had got up, was probably why I was struggling.

Eventually after a lot of walking around, deep breaths, feeling sick, salivating, I kind of cough/retched and felt a bit better and then had strange noises of air coming up my gullet for a while, until I felt better.

Sometimes, I just wish I could burp!

I am in the exact same boat!

I've discovered that there really isn't a lot you can do. Walking around is good, as is taking off your bra (if you're at home, at least). I also found that if I hold my arms above my head, that works works well too.

It's terrible, isn't it?

I had another unpleasant experience tonight at dinner-time. I realised I was full but "soft signs" the odd hiccup, sighing, etc and so I put my fork down and had a rest. The feeling of fullness got worse and started to be painful and I realised I needed to walk around.

I went upstairs and into my bathroom, and, yes, off came everything! Right down to my knickers-bra off, trousers off, I even felt like I could take my necklace off...

The discomfort turned into pain and eventually I was salivating, in pain, and leaning over the basin... and then finally I retched a bit. Up came a bit of saliva/liquid-no food!

Eventually it settled down, but it was really horrible.

I think I need to really chew properly and really concentrate on this or maybe even go onto liquids for a bit.

I only had this fill a week ago and have had some good meals and some awful ones. But definitely feeling full and not hungry so not sure about a defill at this stage.

I am glad to know I am not alone, though.

I'm the same way. People think I'm strange because I don't burp - I just don't and can't really. I think I've burped about five times in my whole life and I'm almost 40! I also don't vomit much, a few times in the past 10 years maybe. I will feel nauseaus but never actually vomit. I suffer from Migraines too and they will make me nauseaus and I sleep them off! When I get stuck, it's horrible! I get that little bit of air and gurgling in my throat but I almost go into a panic attack because I can't relieve the pain and no matter what I do it doesn't get any better. I had a bad stuck episode about a month ago and experienced what sliming was. I don't ever want to do that again!
