Stuck Episode

[irene2502 0]

Hello all..I had a really bad stuck episode about 14 days ago. Had to go in and meet Lapband Doc in ER for a total unfill. He put me on liquids for 7 days due to the intense vomitting I had. I moved onto mushy food such as yogurt, protien shakes 7 days ago. Mashed pototatoes and chili pureed still hurt my stomach. My chest also hurts when the food is going down and my uppper middle back. Kinda like a stuck episode but Im not stuck. I had a florascope done and the band is still in place. I also still seem to have alot of nausea. Have not vomited though. Doc doesnt think it is gallbladder as I dont show any symptoms of that. Has any one else gone through a really stuck episode? How long until you were feeling back to normal and eating real food again? Thanks in advance for advice.

Hi. I have seen alot of folks looking but no replies. Quick update. I had a major stuck episode tonight from yogurt. My doc was out of town so I went to er. Outcome was im not stuck. I have major 1inch gallstones. Have to have my gallbladder out. I hear the surgery is ok. Has any had this done after lapband?

Sorry for your experience! I am surgprised that your surgeon did not see this when he had you there the last time. GOod luck, I had my gall bladder out several years ago, but only had lapband 2 1/2 years ago. And, my daughter had her gall baladdder out before her lapband, too, but same surgeon both times. Karen

Hope your feeling better soon....sorry you have had that happen to you.....and even if it wasnt anything stuck it reminds us all to chew chew chew !!!

This was my first time reading and I was going to suggest an ultrasound. Sounds like the ER did that. When I lost a lot of weight at 18 it led to having my gallbladder out. For now stop eating ANYTHING with fat. Period. Trust me the likelyhood of attacks goes way down.

I don't have my band yet...next week. but during my EGD the doc said my gall bladder is going to have to come out within the next year because of so many gallstones. He said as long as I am not having pain yet(should be on the right side of chest and arm and back) than to wait until end of year. He said he will have to pull all the Fluid out of band before gallbladder surgery and it will slow my momentum that is why he would like to wait until end of year and hopefully close to meeting my goal. Good luck!
