Stuck Food....

[Banded Brian 0]

Ok... so I had my surgery about a year ago and this past month well week as been soo odd!! Everything I eat is getting suck!! I try the normal foods I eat, eggs for Breakfast, Soup for lunch... I end up throwing it up because it's so uncomfortable Could my fill be to tight? Is it just me and extra Water weight? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

I had this same thing happen to me...my doctor told me that anytime something gets stuck in the band your stomachs natural reaction is to swell up around the obstruction. So even after the piece of celery that was stuck in my band came unstuck my stomach was still swollen and took about a week to go down. I had to go for an unfill to be able to tolerate food again. You will notice your stomach is still swollen from you not feeling hunger. Your stomach won't growl or anything but once the swelling goes down you will start to feel that hunger come back again

Thinking back to right before the issues I was having I swallowed a large pill. I didn't crush it up or anything and I think that might have caused some of the issues. At this point though I have just gotten the .25cc removed and I still am feeling restriction and lost another 5lbs. So far so good.
