In my experience if I drink Water it instantly comes back up, sometimes this "unsticks" the food, sometimes it doesn't. The food is eventually going to go through the band or you will end up throwing up. When I get stuck I slime really bad. This either helps the food go through too or makes me throw up. I hate getting stuck. Hope it pass' quickly!

When I get stuck, I make myself throw up. It is such a terrible feeling and so much pain. Get some papaye enzyme pills. That helps, but also makes me throw up and then I feel so much better.

It is painful to get stuck. My doctor told me never to try to throw up when I'm stuck because it can cause your bottom stomach to prolapse up through the band and cause even bigger problems. As per his orders, I do nothing. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour for the pain to go away. It's a great deterrent and after an episode I'm much more vigilant about what I eat for quite a while. Then, when I forget what getting stuck felt like, I think I can have a particular food and next thing you know, I'm stuck again.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
