Can it Take a Few Days...or Weeks?

[Pebbagirl 131]

I had my second fill on Jan 30th (so about 3+ weeks ago. ). All was fine until a few days ago when I had my first bad stuck episode. Can it take a few weeks to tell whether the fill was too much? Or did I likely do damage and not take things slowly enough after the stuck episode? Today I ate a ham sandwich with no issues. Tonight, I took my bedtime pill and laid down. Within 30 minutes, here came the mucous then coughing, gas and finally retching over the toilet with no PB or vomit. What's the deal???

Girl I'm having same problem. Some days are good and some r not. I don't want an unfill. I'm gonna hang in there a little longer and see how I do. But I sure need to slow down ,it has taught me that

It's always better not to risk being too tight and call your doc. Let him decide if you need a little unfill or not.

You may be causing irritation eating things like bread. Sometimes fills take a few weeks to settle in due to swelling in your stomach. If you can eat a sandwhich I doubt that you are too tight.

that was my thought if u can eat a ham sandwith u aren't to tight but eating to fast or to big of bit. The size of the bit is the size of you pinky nail and take time between bits that is still hard for me. Stuck issues is part of the program you need to stick to it closly to be comfortable.

Thanks everyone for your kind input. After talking to my nurse I'm pretty sure the problem was lying down too soon after a meal and immediately after taking bedtime meds. I'm going to try taking them a couple of hours before bed and see if that helps. It's a learning process!

Ladybabie, "PB" stands for "productive burp.". It's when you burp and the undigested food comes back up. It's not violent like throwing up. I haven't had this happen yet.

Thank you so much! I keep seeing this on peoples post and I'm like what in the world are they talking about. lol

I just had my first pb tonight. Always wondered what it was like. It sure got me unstuck. And I didn't bother trying to finish my meal. I don't ever want to do it again either. The slime was gross!!! Yes slime is another word that I had not experienced but heard a lot about it. Yuck. I don't know what it's going to take for me to slow down and chew. I'm hardheaded I guess. But I'm learning:)
