Is it literally stuck in your throat? Meaning you can't swallow and it comes back up?

It will not come up or go down it just sits there.

I think I know what you're describing. It feels like it's a lump at the very bottom of your throat?

Your profile is blank. When were you banded? Have you had any fills, if so, how recently?

I was banded may 10

2012 my first fill was a month ago. Getting my second fill this week

Is it a specific food getting stuck, or just everything in general?

It's possible that you need to take smaller bites of food, chew more thoroughly, and/or pause between bites. I know after my last fill in May I thought I was taking small enough bites but it turned out I wasn't. I started taking even tinier ones and I've been fine ever since.

Might be worth a try,

Maybe t just sits.in my throat for a few hours. Been, trying to drink more Water because maybe i am dehydrated. it is really just anything I eat.

I would talk to your surgeon when see him next week, just to be on the safe side,

I saw some pix once showing the size we should really be eating and it was about the size of a pea. Every single bite. Are yours that small? Maybe your fill was too tight? I second the suggestion to talk to your surgeon. I would think using the Water to wash it down feels right but I thought we weren't supposed to mix the two as much as possible so there's got to be some other way to get it down. I'm sorry you're going through this!!

Sounds like you're now chewing your food up until it's liquid consistency. I know for me things only get stuck with I gulp.

My food gets stuck in my throat too, so I started taking smaller bites. I've had my second fill but can still eat alot. I don't even feel like I have a band, I've lost weight because I stick to Protein vegetables and fruit and no more then 1200 calories or I would have never lost weight. I'm losing hope, I want to feel that restriction!!!
