Help! I have a piece of chicken stuck

[Eveline 5]

Hi,

Any help would so appreciated.

I am 4 weeks post gastric bypass and the nutritionist said I could start with some steamed chicken so I did, but it's got stuck well and truly!

It's been stuck now for 48hrs, in the beginning the pain was overwhelming and had me shaking uncontrollably but now it has eased to a dull ache with intermittent spasms, but I can't get anything but small amounts of liquids pass, tablets just reappear so does food.< /p>

Does anybody have any tips on helping the chicken digest?

Thanks in advance...

Quickly make yourself throw up. It happens to me sometimes. I use the opposite side of my toothbrush to put down my throat. It will help I guarantee

I have been trying on and off the whole time but I don't have much of a gag reflex and have had no luck at bringing up anything but saliva.

If its extremely painful go to ER. I ended up with a twisted bowel and it might be good if they Catscan you to make sure nothing is wrong

Call your surgeon, now

If you go to hospital please let us know how you make out

Hi yes I did call him when it happened and he suggested soda Water to try and push it out - tried it and have had no luck. he had offered to pull it out by endoscopy but can't do it till Tuesday (Sunday AM here atm).

I was just hoping there was some other "trick" lol

Go to local er. You need to be checked

[Eveline 5]

Yes well if it's still stuck on Tuesday I will make the 2hr trek to his hospital for the endoscopy but I suppose I will just have to cope till then

There isn't much point as we are rural and if I rock up to the local hospital ER they will just tell me they can't deal with it and to go down to town.

Taking a risk if there is something really wrong.

[Kimteehee 21]

Ok. Feel better

[Kimteehee 21]

Where are you located

[Eveline 5]

In South Australia, I think you are right though I might see if I can get a babysitter and borrow some money and make the trek this AM.

Feel better. Keep me updated
