Where Is Stuck Feeling?

[esmlaura 4]

I am going for my first fill in 3 weeks. I have never had a stuck feeling. I am wondering where is the feeling? Is it above your breastbone, behind it, or below it. I am trying to visualize where the stomach is and where the top of it is but am unsure.

Am I right to assume the full feeling you get after band might be above where your full feeling was before banding? Since the food is being held up higher in your pouch and not your stomach?

Thanks,

Laura

I didn't get the stuck feeling till I was about 5 cc. Believe me when your stuck... You know it! The feeling is how it feels when you need to barf but no nausea. You feel it in your upper torso/ chest area. Feeling stuck is bad, feeling full is what you are going for. When your stuck you feel like your only option for relief is to vomit. Avoid this feeling!

You will know when you are stuck! It's in your chest area generally....you'll most likely Water at the mouth and spit up or PB until it goes away. Try not to get there!!

Oh you will know the stuck feeling! I agree...its about mid chest. I have been having lots of problems with this lately and have started having back pains because of it. I think I might be overfilled. Calling Doc tomorrow.

you will know when you're stuck, and depending on how bad you may just feel throat discomfort or painful chest discomfort.

I have had stuck episodes , mostly with corned beef and pulled pork BBQ. It starts as a full feeling in your throat, then pressure in your chest, may also be in between your shoulder blades.

With the corned beef and pulled pork, I ate too big a piece, it got stuck, I started having lots of mucous and it took a while for that all to calm down. With the corned beef, I finally had to vomit and got rid of the offending piece.... Ugh, but I did learn my lesson. Small bites, chew, chew and chew some more.....

My mouth starts watering obscene amounts when I've been stuck. I'm relatively sure each time has been because of eating too fast. That and now bread is a "no go" for me.
