I had a fill on Saturday (5ccs added) I was on a liquid diet until yesterday. Started mushies. Had my favourite which is blended chicken and refried Beans. I guess I swallowed a bite that I did not chew well enough as I felt it get stuck. Assume it was a bit of the chicken. I slimed and regured last night. This morning it is still stuck. Have tried warm and cold drinks and can keep some down but keep sliming. I just called the doc and am waiting on a call back. Can one stuck issue cause your band to slip? Will they have to remove the saline from my band? Waiting to be called back is killing me. Has this happened to anyone else after a fill? I didn't think that something getting stuck would last this long.

It is unlikely that one stuck episode would cause the band to slip.

You are swollen and irritated from it so stay on liquids till you hear from your doctor. Small sips.

And relax, you will be fine. Your stress will make the band feel tighter. Relax!

Sorry you experienced this.

It's extremely unlikely a stuck episode is going to cause a slip.

It's likely they'll remove some saline from your band to allow the stuck food to pass. But, removing the saline is a good thing if it lets the food pass through as it should. Normally, stuck episodes don't last but a couple minutes not hours. It's a good thing you called your doc.

It'll be ok, just hang in there until your doc calls back.

If it came back up you're probably not still stuck but rather just swollen. Try taking some liquid motrin and stick to liquids for a day or two. The next meal you have, take a bite...chew like crazy...swallow...then wait a few minutes before your next bite.

Just spoke with the doc. Going into London on Friday morning for an unfill. Doc told me to sip Water and try ice lollies. Ugh. Did anyone else have a stuck episode in the beginning or am I a complete idiot? Things were going to well!! :(

You are not an idiot!

We all get stuck at some point.

It's a hard lesson that we all go thru, lol.

Take care.

Good news!!! Woke up this morning and there was no tightness in my chest. Sipped some Water and it went down fine. No sliming. Sipped a slimfast shake and it all went down fine. Sticking to liquids for the time being. What ever was stuck has went down or the swelling has. Have called my doc who said we will see how it goes today and tomorrow before we decide to cancel my Friday appointment. I think I would like him to still take a little out though.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
