Elisabethsew 50 Posted May 30, 2006 Slowly sip a hot cup of tea to move the food into the stomach. You're going to be swollen for a while so don't move to solids too quickly. Create a chicken salad out of the whole piece to make it a soft food. I hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickie 15 Posted May 30, 2006 If you can, have someone pat you on the back (much like burping a baby) or go for a walk. I do find if *I* get something stuck, the worst thing I can do is drink anything. I would really try going for a walk around the house before you try drinking.

wheeler 0 Posted May 30, 2006 You have been only been banded a few days ago, and because it is not just a normal blockage, I would most certainly call my doctor. Under no circumstance try and bring it back up before you have a chat to him/her Good luck Wheeler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
