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 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!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
