Burp..

Try and make yourself burp and usually it makes me gag and it comes right out.

Do not drink any liquid, that will NOT make it better, only worse.

I forgot to ask, what did you eat that is stuck? That might make a difference.

Hello,

I've had my band for a little over 2 years.... food can get stuck and I know it HURTS. This can happen from not chewing the food enough or eating way to fast. Sometimes if I eat a few bites quickly I get a really bad pain and it feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. In really bad cases I might end up dry heaving or throwing up just a little... sorry I know thats gross. The best thing to do is stop eating and let it work its way past. Whenever it happens to me I just sit back and try to breathe. I also tend to rub the uppper part of my chest where the band is underneath... not sure the rubbing does much besides making me feel like I'm helping (lol) Sometimes a little Water might help, but usually I just have to wait for the pain to subside. If it continues to hurt for an extended period of time (like hours) I would def. seek medical attention.

Hope this helps
