Stuck Or Something Else...??

OK veterans... I was banded Mid August. I'm down about 30 lbs since being banded. Last night after I ate some chili at the Trunk or Treat I felt the feeling I had right after surgery of being bloated and full of gas. I did my arm movement and was able to do some PB'ing, but that also led to a sharp pain( ok not sharp, but dull ache) in my band area. Drinking intensifies the ache. I also feel so full I feel like I'm going to pop. I didn't have more than 3/4 chili I thought I chewed well. I had a few pcs of tortilla chips on top but I crushed them up we are talking about less than 2 full chips. The chili was kind of dry though. I burped as much as I could last night. No feeling of nausea or otherwise. I went to bed changing positions made no difference. This morning 12 hrs later I didn't have the dull ache but I still felt so full it was not funny. I drank a hot tea for my morning meal so to speak. I'm onto lunch and still full. a little dull ache but no pain. I got some Soup for lunch but have no desire to eat.

Does this sounds like a stuck episode or maybe a slip? any thoughts?

to me it just sounds like you didnt chew the ground been enough or maybe you did but your band is like mine and doesnt care for ground beef. I dont think its serious but I am not a Dr so if you are concerned I would call the office.

Is slipping that common I haven't read a lot about it on here. because it came on so suddenly I would think it was stuck and now it is irrated. I would keep drink hot tea today and if still a problem tomorrow give a call to doctor. line dancer

Sounds like you ate to much , it's a gassy food . I wouldn't eat for awhile why eat if you are not hungry? Drink as much as you can and I think if you feel bad tomorrow call the Dr it doesn't sound like a slip and it not sounding like a stuck either. Good Luck

Thank you everyone I did get my Soup down. After I got it down the ache disappeared and my tummy started grumbling greatly. Whatever it was its gone. I had planned on calling the dr tomorrow if it continued.

Slips are not that common. Believe me, if you had a slip, you would not feel well during the night. Generally, they cause GERD during the night. I was very uncomfortable, and surgeon suggested not eating after 8pm. That did me no good. It doesn't usually come from one stuck,tho' Best wishes,Karen
