Newme76 0 Posted July 9, 2008 OK, I went for my first fill on Monday (which went very well) and haven't had any complications other than a post op infection (which was 2 of the small circular incisions and not the port incision thank goodness) since surgery but today something weird happened. I was eating my usual hard boiled egg minus the yolk when all of a sudden, I started to feel this tightness in my throat as if the food was getting stuck. The episode increased in intensity for about 1 1/2 minutes. I was relieved by belching but felt as if I needed to throw up (which I successfully tried very hard not to do). Think I just swallowed too much at one time? While the episode was occurring, even swallowing my own spit was too much and only made the feeling worse. Anyone relate to this? I was worried about it all day at work and therefore didn't eat another thing out of fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glorybee123 0 Posted July 9, 2008 What you felt was restriction! If you continue to eat after you start to get that feeling you will PB (productive burp) which is absolutely miserable. Also after you have had a fill, whatever you ate that was once "usual" may not be anymore. Be cautious, take small bites and chew well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatestgps 0 Posted July 10, 2008 I notice I get this when I eat too fast and don't chew good enough.. This has been tough to get used to. I am learning quickly though cause I sure hate it when the food gets stuck in my throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newme76 0 Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks everyone for the info. I kind of thought that was PB'ing but since it was my first episode (and hopefully my last), I wasn't convinced. Take care to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
