cmarie Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'm hoping one or more of you may know what happened last night w/ my band. I've had it on for 3 months and had my 3rd fill (2.4cc) about 10 days ago. I came home and made a salad w/ a chicken patty cut up in pieces. Only took about 3 bites and felt that "stuck" pain. Only this time the pain got worse and worse. After about 1/2 hour, I couldn't even swallow spit and threw up the spit I had swallowed. The pain was incredible and the spit thing went on for about an hour....vomitting only spit. After another 20 minutes, a small bit of the salad came up and a later, a little more. Overall, this went on for close to 2 hours and my stomach was in knots until I went to bed. This morning I'm just a little sore and plan to be careful and do liquids only. I've had food stuck before, and have stopped eating, waited and it's gone away in about 10 minutes. I truly felt as if I had a full restriction across my stomach this time and it was HORRIBLE! I guess I expected that if I had a problem, by throwing it up, it would be over. I've never vomitted before so this was totally new to me.... Can anyone help me understand what happened because I think if I had to live w/ that or being fat, I'd choose fat! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sorry this happened! It is horrible - please make sure to go on liquids for 3 days for healing. Something was stuck and trying to come up and caused the pain and aggravation. Not fun, but make sure you chew really well; you know have a really good fill and you needed to turn your food into liquid before you swallowed! Take care and hope you feel better today!

cmarie Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks Lisal, 3 days? UGH! But if it means it won't happen again then NO PROBLEMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 As long as you chew good it wont - what stops me from making it happen again is thinking about going on that dang 3-day liquid diet - I chew everything like someone said before a "food processor" now. I hate liquid diets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom12 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Salad is definitely one of my caution items. I can't have it alot of the time and if I can manage some I have to chew and chew and chew. There is something about lettuce that really likes to get stuck and it definitely doesn't digest very quickly or easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
