liquids after a bad PB episode are always a good idea, if particularly bad, do it for the next day or 2 as well. In the meantime, homemade ginger tea works wonders to soothe the stomach and thin out that horrible thick slime that runs down the back of your throat. Just grate up about a quarter to a half an inch of fresh ginger, put it in a cup of hot Water with a teaspoon of honey and let it steep for a couple of minutes - delicious, refreshing and sooooo soothing for the upset tummy!

I cant believe it, it's gone! I can eat again! :crying: the foods going down ok now, oh what joy!!! I couldnt eat for 3 days and then all of a sudden it went. Crikey, something must have been well and truly stuck down there. Anyway panic over, I'm off to have my porridge for breakfast!

Thanks again everyone for replying to my original post. very grateful to you all.

Get some chewable papaya enzyme tablets. Make sure they are sugar free; the ones I have have sorbitol in them. I got them at the Vitamin store. I take them everywhere. I have them in my car, purse, home, office.

Any time I have the stuck pain, I chew a couple and feel relief, sometimes it is almost immediate relief.

Good luck.

      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.
