2+ Years With Lap Band And Stuck! Need Help Now Please

[Cindy C 150]

Go to the doctor and have him remove all of your Fluid. What ever is stuck will go right down and then have him put it all right back in!

Hope you are ok?

Well I am pretty sure I am no longer stuck, but very swollen so just liquids over the Thanksgiving weekend. I tried the payaya Enzymes did not do it. But the ones I tried this time I could chew up without throwing up as they were flavored so if you order some make sure they are flavored. I spent most of last night throwing up slime and the small amounts of Water I thought went down.

Today more of the samething, my husband is sick of me and I am sick of him due to all my complaining and slime city. Last night I just slept in the bathroom, just me and my dog. I had to cook some dishes for Thanksgiving today and it was not fun. Still hungry seems my stomach did not know we were stuck, it justs growled 3 days of no food or protien shakes.

About 7:00 pm tonight a band friend reminded me another band friend of ours knew something that worked. Well one call to her and I got it. Her LapBand Dr. told her about it they call it “Drano” it worked right away. So I am not saying it is good for you but my friend is a nurse and she has done it twice in 2 ½ years. So drink it at you own risk.

I would have gone to dr today but not open till Monday. These new Dr are nothing like Dr Spivak. Oh how I miss him. he took great care of his people night or day and weekends. Thank you to all of you for giving me your advice and prayers and everything else. I felt really dumb as I did not know what I was stuck on. A good friend of my just had a heart attack and we were at the hospital day and night. Stress tightens up my Band also. Any way good news and lots of liquids now.

DRANO - 1 part hot coke, 1 part lemon or lime juice, 1 part meat tenderizer all mixed togather in a big glass. Drink it in about 3rds at a time. Be in bathroom as it will come up in about a minute, then drink next part, same thing happens, 3rd time went straight through and whatever was stuck was gone. Not sure if it came up or went down with last drink but gone.

Well thanks again for you support and have a Happy Thanksdiving!!! And you newbies and people looking into the band some people never get stuck like this or vomit or even slime so this is just my experience with it. I still love my band even if this happened 2 or 3 times in 2+ years.

I'm glad you are unstuck. Maybe you can think of some creative liquids for Thanksgiving......

pumpkin spice latte ? Pumpkin spice Protein Shake? Egg nog?

Made it through the day no problems. Tummy was hungry . . . something I do not feel very often but I only ate about 5 small bites of Jello salad? it was good! But all I could take. Did not feel swollen today but I know I am so I will be very careful next couple of days

Thanks all for all the support

WOW!!! Hopefully it will never happen but now I know the Drano recipe and thank goodness its not the real Drano you buy in the house cleaning aisle.

Wow! I'm glad you're better. That's pretty scary. Be careful.

[123crod 170]

It just put me in a really bad mood as I had no control over it. I still do not know really what was stuck or when it really started. Very strange. I hope to not go through that again. But the Drano thing is nasty but works right away.

Hi Cheri!

Hope you're still doing well!!!

Glad you are OK.

I have been told that guzzling coke works but I have never tried it. It supposedly works better on things that are in bits rather than one big bit. e.g it would work better on rice or minced meat than on a chunk of carrot. I always suck on crushed ice when I have a problem. Sometimes it takes a while but it does eventually seem to clear it. papaya enzymes have never helped me one little bit.

I think when this happens it is a case of trial and error to find out what will work for you and it also depends on what is causing the blockage.
