What Does Being Stuck Feel Like

Yep the vampire thing about sums it up! My husband tries not to laugh but when I'm runnin around flapping like a chicken with its head cut off' date=' jumping up and down clutching my chest (I dramatize for effect) i cant say i blame him! thankfully the two times it has happened to me it passed in a min or two.[/quote']

LOL I love that you add some dramatic flair...sounds like me :-P

I was banded on 4/25 & the last couple days I've been having pains everytime I get up or walk around. Its a sharp chest pain that also hurts my head.. It comes and goes every 10 minutes..... And it hurts to breathe deeply when its happening. Anyone know what this is??

i was banded 4/26 and what you describe sounds like the gas pain i have..except it doesnt effect my head. if u are finding that after you drink u wanna burp but instead u get the pain u described..then its most likely gas. Im still having it and some say it can last few days or 2 weeks...but for me what has gave some relief is moving. i try to get up and walk around house while im drinking my Water, then the burp comes up and releases..more times than not anyway

The first time is for sure the worst, but the main thing I would suggest is don't panic! The first time I was stuck, I seriously thought I was gonna die....ug! Just walk around (often getting up from a sitting position helps), stretch.....and wait. Often it will pass, but you will soon know if it's gotta come back up!
