Just Got Sick From Being Stuck



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I just got sick from being stuck for a few hours. I'm about about 3 1/2 months out from surgery and have 1.5cc in a 10cc band, I've had one other stuck episode and the doctor talked me through it over the phone and luckily it went down with a couple sips of Water, I didn't have Fluid in my band at that time, This time however, I left it alone for a couple hrs and then tried the sip of water and threw up. I called the doc and the nurse said to try to drink some water tonight and if that goes down fine then I can eat but to let them know if I have any issues. Can anyone tell if this has happened to them and how bad this could be? Also, how did you ease back into eating, I think I'm just going to be done for tonight. I do know all about chewing an eating slow and I usually never have a problem but I think being sick with a bad cold and being congested isn't helping things go down, Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Sorry you had a stuck issue...but good for you to call your dr !!!!

I would stay with fluids for the next 24 hrs...let things sette down....

Lord knows I have had my share of stucks..but I think I finally got the message and I have slowed down and chew chew chew...

One thing I have done is make sure I dont get to hungry ....so i can go slow.....Good Luck !

Thanks you. I think that's what I'll do just to be safe. I know exactly what you mean about making sure you don't get too hungry! Congrats on your weight loss :)

On my stuck episodes, I usually don't feel like eating again anyways. I opt for a nice cool Protein Shake sipping really slowly or a tall glass of peach mango Mio. Or crystal light. My stomach will be irritated for a few hours. I feel for you. I try to avoid stuck episodes, but sometimes it happens reminding us the band is there:(

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
