Stuck For 2 Days

[michelle626 21]

I ate gorditas in Tuesday night and automatically

Could eat or drink anything right after !! Haven't been able to throw it up or eat anything since then. I feel like I have some in my esophagus what can I do to get unstuck ??

I would call your surgeon and go in for an unfill, or at least run it past him. Gorditas may be something your band won't tolerate. Are we talking like, Taco Bell Gorditas?

[michelle626 21]

No home made thick ones he said to fast for 8 hrs then try liquids see if it goes down

[michelle626 21]

Think it was the thickness if it and also that it was packed with cheese !!

[SandyC2 32]

[michelle626 21]

So I had to get a one and half cc unfill In order for it to go down but atleast I lost 7 lbs since Tuesday !!

[SandyC2 32]

WOW! Im glad you are okay. Im really having second thoughts about the band. There are so many problems I see folks havin with it. I dont want to choke to death in my sleeve from un realized gerd or something. Im thinking bout the sleeve. Ya don even have to worry bout dumping with it. Dont they give all people who have a failed band or a band with more problems than good points the option to have a swith procedure to something the doctor thinks may help better? Sandy

I know second thoughts you can consider but people with the band have to really focus on behaviors that got us heavy in the first place, especially me. Not only did I eat fast, but I took big bites and I don't chew my food enough. A lot of my stuck episodes could be prevented if I concentrate I. Those rules of chewing small bites, taking my time, and chew chew chew. I'm the poster child for this!!! The band has been successful for me almost two years and almost in a size11.

To add, my sister had gastric by pass and now she is looking into lapband on top of bypass...none of these surgeries are full proof. Do lots of learning about all. I have a friend who has sleeve and two that have the other procedures and they are a success so far. Good luck:)

I just read where you said you ate gorditas, I think gorditas are a no no, especially home made ones.
