What Does Being Stuck Feel Like

[Rebecca Cain Salpacka 100]

im sure everyone will say "when you get stuck you will know" and im sure i will...but before i am at the point that i am on solids..id like to have an idea of what i might feel (praying it wont be anytime soon)

does it feel much like the gas pains?j

just trying to get an idea.

For me it's a pressure in my chest....not pain really. You may also feel like you have a lot more saliva.

I get a big lump in my throat and my chest gets all tight. Very often I end up sliming like crazy too (that's when your mouth fills with saliva)

well.. here i go again.. lol.. ive had about three episodes now that i would have loved to have avoided, but im slow to learn. lol.

Last night i was cooking potato chips under the grill for hubbie. i sometimes forget ive got the band now?? (not good lol) ... well,i was cooking chips and just grabbed one, put half in my mouth . .. chewed about five times and swallowed. As soon as, i freaked.

immediately my chest was on fire.food churning and coming back up into my throat. the pain was awful. i couldnt do anything to get rid of it. i was salivating... wanted to be sick but couldnt. this lasted for an hour. it was one of the most horrible experiences ive gone through for a long time. I just couldnt do anything to stop it.

So... a big lesson. Dont take the chance by just '' popping food into your mouth''.... i did... and it cost me. I was able to have about three mouthfuls of cold tea before i went to bed.(hours later, the experience left me feeling quite ill ) Chewing like you wouldnt believe this time... and i was o.k.

Theres nothing like getting stuck with food to make one realize just what a big surgery this is... and how it impacts. i hope this has helped to warn you off not chewing properly. Now... if i had donethe right thing and bitten off a tiny bit, which by the way would have given me just enough of a taste... if Id done that and chewed over 30 times, i would have been o.k. just a little warning here.

My favourite description was from someone who isn't active on the boards atm, Bob. He said it felt like you were a vampire that had just been stabbed in the chest with a stake. I think that sums it up pretty well.

Pressure in the chest !!

[mandagay 93]

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, 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.

Very very well put, this is exaclty how it fills and yes it is a hard lesson to learn. Just had my 2nd episode today,

i love lucy lover... do you forget that you have the band in, like i do at times?

I used to at first, but its been 10 months now so it's getting eaiser. But I still tend to wait too long to eat and then have to remember not to eat fast take too big of a bite. . Still getting used to that process.

boy... hope you dont get into trouble like i do then.. lol. isnt it hard not to take a large mouthful when hungry?? i know that feeling well. im hoping that my first fill will help to take care of that. i wonder how long it will take me to get the message??? lol.

[Rebecca Cain Salpacka 100]

WOW...you all have done well at describing it..and I pray i never make the mistakes that will cause it to happen..but realistically i know it happens to EVERYONE at least once....thanks for the comments..i definitely have a better idea of what to expect...

this gas pain im dealing with now is awful..and getting stuck definitely sounds 50 times worse...very scary.

Heck ya, its really bad when I get really hungy, thats when I need to really watch myselft. I do have a tendacy to try to take bigger bites. I guess those life long habbits are just harder to break.

But I think this last fill will do me for a while. Not sure I want anymore. As much problems as Im having now will wait for a while to even think of getting another fill.

For me, it feels like I have a huge lump in my throat/chest and I have MAJOR pain radiate to my upper back. I have just started experiencing this. I had my second fill last week and think that I might be a bit to tight!
