Does being stuck feel the same as being full?



Recommended Posts

What I mean is does the tight feeling you get in your chest that signifies you are full feel like it does when you first know that you are stuck? I've only been banded for 2 months and I'm still struggling with the signals although I'm just beginning to listen to my body a tiny bit...just not there 100% yet. Thank you!

I finally started feeling full this week and it does not feel the same as feeling stuck. The sensation of feeling full to me is the same as before my surgery when I ate a full meel and I was pleasantly satiated. Feeling stuck to me is that uncomfortable feeling that you hope will go away soon or you may have to throw up.

You should not feel uncomfortable when you are full. But being too full does feel like being stuck.

If you overeat, feeling full can feel like the early stages of being stuck and isn't comfortable . . . but you really don't want to be so full you are uncomfortable.

However, if you are really stuck . . . you will absolutely know it as you start sliming and it is much too uncomfortable to be anywhere but in the bathroom.

Had my first sliming experience today. I was eating chili and all of a sudden i felt like something was stuck so I stopped eating and I got the hiccup thing, then felt myself start to slime, I ran to the bathroom and up came the chili. Not a good thing, I wasn't prepared when it came up and got it all over my white shirt, had to run up to KMart and buy something to wear to finish the day in. Note to self: slow down and pay attention to what I am eating and how fast!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
