Food getting stuck?

I have read on here where folks get food stuck and that is what scares me, does it feel like your choking, or what is the feeling when you eat something too big or something that doesn't agree? TIA :help:

I have had something stuck in my band three different times. What an awfull feeling. The first time I did not know what was happening. The pain is similar to what I have been hearing from others is PB pain. The problem is that vomiting does not provide any relief. The second time it happened, I was on a deep sea fishing trip and it happened the first day of the three day trip. I was unable to eat or drink. Thank goodness, emptying my band worked to get the food released. I was left empty for a week and then refilled slowly. After each of these, I was afraid to eat.

I have PB'd once because something a little too big went around my tongue and got swallowed. I had only had three small bites, so I am assuming the band "knew" this piece was too big.

I felt instantly "full!" and began salivating, a lot. I knew something was wrong so I decided to watch the drain in my sink for awhile. Before long, I had a weak kind of gag/burp that brought up the offending tidbit, darn undercooked broccoli. It was so small and innocently gross. It went right down the drain no problem! What the heck!

I was lucky from reading the other stories. Look up StrawartS post on the PB from hell for more info.
