You may have actually already swallowed it and what you feel is the residual pain of the scratched oesophagus.

I've had pills stuck too. I make an exception and eat a couple of carb loaded crackers like triscuts. It usually does the trick. Good luck.

Ive eaten bread, drank cold tea, hot tea and tried a piece of meat. It hasnt gotten better. If I would have swallowed it completely it would have come up when I puked. Ive had pills get stuck before but never like this. Im still trying to drink but im just torchuring myself. I just dont want to go to the er for something this stupid. Im going to try a heating pad and see if making it warmer will expand my throat enough.

You may be having esophagus spasms...try relaxing and sipping hot coffee or tea. If bread did not dislodge it, then if very well be a spasm or stricture.

Thanks for the advice all :) my friend had me try something wierd that actually worked. I laid on the bed with my legs on the bed and my body laying off of it bending backwards of the bed so that I stretched my esophagus out. I stayed line that for a few minutes and it must have moved cuz this morning I could eat and drink fine. It was the stupidest thing I think "injury" wise that's ever happened to me lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
