Hello everyone! Just had a question about a stuck episode I had this morning. I knew better, but I was eating a sausage biscuit on the drive to work this morning. After 3 bites, it got stuck. :redface:OMG, it hurt. :ihih: When it came back up, there was quite a bit of blood with it. :eek: Is this normal? I feel fine now, except I know I'm swollen. I can just barely get Water down, so I'm drinking warm coffee that seems to be soothing. Has anyone else experienced this? I have only been banded since April 8th, so I'm still fairly new at this.:unsure:Thanks in advance for any input and advice.

Donna:smile:

I had an episode the other day with a productive burp when I ate tuna. Mine came back up just as it went down, but there was no blood. I don't think blood would be normal. You may want to give your surgeon a call. Best of luck.

Eek! I've had my share of "productive burping" but never any blood. I agree with carriemc78 that you should probably call your doctor. Good Luck!!

I get that a lot. Turns out in my case it's acid reflux. Chew some tums or something and see if that takes it away.

A lot of people say the acid reflux goes away with weight loss in many cases. I never had it that bad, but it has stopped.

I'm hoping that's the case. I've gotten acid reflux with certain foods my entire overweight life, not anything major but very annoying.

I have never heard of blood with a PB. I would call the doctor to be safe.

Was the blood bright or dark? Odds are if it was light, you may have scratched something on the way up. If it was dark, that's not a good sign. But all in all, call the Dr. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have had a couple of episodes, but I only had one time a little blood came up. And it was the bread for me. I am unable to get any time of bread down at all. But I do agree with the others if you do not feel better I would call my dr. just to make sure. Be careful :thumbdown:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
