sorry for your experience and yes it is horrible. I'm 9 wks post op and have been stuck 4 times. I have 4.5cc's in my band so far and getting a fill next week. I think my stuck episodes are too fast at eating and not chewing. Need to learn my band and still learning. Yes I agree with above, liquids then mushies then on to solids. Take it easy, hope you feel better.

Yay, happy dance time! That means you are either in the green zone or nibbling very close. :rolleyes: You've got restriction so now you start working on how to eat so that you feel satisfied with less food.

It's a happy time isn't it? And don't worry, you'll get stuck again. It takes a while to relearn years of pigging out, not chewing, bad food selection, distracted eating and eating too fast.

Eat small, chew big and do it slowly.

I have to agree with tfm, it's time to Celebrate. When I was in the green zone I had to steer clear of bread -- not a big loss for the great results I was getting. I had an "incident" of my own doing and had to have some of my Fluid removed. I've had one fill since then and am still not even near the green zone. I'll be glad when I get that first signal that tells me I'm there again!!!!

Hey there.....getting stuck can be a scary experience. I have gotten stuck twice and it scared the daylights out of me. I know I was eating too fast and not chewing enough. I just had my first fill on Monday but the episodes happened before my fill. I dont think Im anywhere near the green zone being I have to stop myself when eating and I really dont feel any restriction. My doctor advised that after the fill I do 24 hours of liquid....2 days of just shakes 3x's a day and 2 days of mushies then I can go back to solid. I'm looking forward to my mushies today lol. Hang in there and remember little bites.....chew chew chew......we are re-teaching oursleves and changing something we have done for years and years and years.....we are in it together :)

My Doctor recommends 3 days of liquids followed by 2 days of mushies. I failed to follow his instructions, got stuck and have figured out that I have to bend over with my head below my hips, face over the toilet to let it all backflow a bit. It's scary when it happens.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
