any suggestions on how to get "un stuck"?



Recommended Posts

I feel like I have something stuck - ever since Friday morning...Every time I try to eat or drink all I can have is a bite or a sip - I have the gurgling and burping and hic ups going on too...I have tried to make myself sick (yes I know that I shouldn't) but to no avail...any suggestions?

ummmmm lemme think..

#1 Papaya enzyme seems to help some people. It helps to breakdown food

#2 You sound more inflammed (post stuck) than you sound stuck. Being stuck for days on end seems a little peculiar. I would suspect if that were the case you'd be in such discomfort you would refrain from eating and drinking anything. The fact that some food/water passes is also another indication that it's more of a tight band/inflammed stoma.

Recommendation

1) Report symptoms to doc

2) Go liquids. Start clear, than full, than softs etc. Go as slow as you need to transition without an adverse symptoms. This can take days, even a week.

The more you eat and agitate this inflammed area the worse the inflammation and you risk occlusion in which unfill would be mandatory. Baby your band.

Also, some would recommend liquid motrin to help w/ inflammation. I would personally do this but not for an extended period. Make sure it's liquid.< /p>

My lap band surgeon told me to keep pineapple juice on hand for any "stuck" issues; it will move one way or the other. My guess is something to do with the enzymes in the juice (?)

My nutritionist says WARM things (Soup / tea, etc.) open the band a little; COLD things restrict ---> if that makes sense :)

Good Luck~!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
