Question?

[Redesigned_Curves 312]

Let me just start by saying that I was banded 2/6/13 and had my first stuck episode yesterday. Ugh, no fun!

Anyway - for lunch, around noon today, I had a really dry piece of chicken. Every since I have felt like it is just chilling there in my esophagus, ya know, just hanging out. It's different than what I experienced yesterday, as that stuff was coming back up. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for getting it to move along??

Maybe try some hot tea- that usually works for me. Hope you feel better soon!

Nope sorry question and answer period is over! ...Just kidding I used to say this to my kids because they used to constantly say : Mom I have a question,then not say anything else. All I can tell you is what my Nut used to tell me, think of the band as a funnel ( or inverted triangle) if something is stuck at the bottom and you add Water, tea, whatever, where does it have to go ?but UP and OUT. I know it's tough when it happens and it's uncomfortable, extremely at times. Remember chicken is easily overcooked and dry, sometimes marinading it first or adding gravy, lemon, oil/vinegar mix anything to put moisture back is going to help. But unfortunately, this is one of those things that is a "learned" lesson. For most we do what we can to avoid it from happening. To reiterate previous posts remember to chew, chew, chew

Good Luck, here's hoping things are going better for you.
