Help I'm suddenly too tight

On Tuesday I got a tiny fill of .2 cc's. I stayed on liquids and then mushies and then on Friday I tried real food. I had no problems. Yesterday I ate real food and even ate out at supper with no problems.

This morning I drank my coffee and took my meds- 9 pills total- no problem. Then at noon I tried to eat some Greek Yogurt. I ate it slowly. It took almost 40 minutes to fini**** and it got stuck. I threw it up. Now when I drink I can feel my liquids trickling down and If I take a big drink rather than a sip it feels like it's going to come back up. I burp a lot and then it will finally go down.

What's the deal? I swallowed my pills this morning with no issues so what's going on now?

Is it possible I irritated my band by swallowing the pills? They were all small except for 2 and those 2 were gelcaps.

Gelcaps can sometimes be 'sticky' for me ---

As far as exactly what is going on, "who knows"?

Take it easy the rest of the day -- maybe some soup for dinner --- and see how you feel tomorow.

Call your doctor if this keeps up.

I agree with Kath.

It may  have been the meds.  9 pills are a lot at one time and if they disolve while in the stoma they can cause irritation which would cause swelling.  I only take 2 pills and if I take them in the am without a warm beverage it doesn't work. 

You many need to think about spreading them out, switching some to liquids, etc.

If I were you I'd stay on liquids for at least a day to assess your tightness.

Thanks guys. I guess maybe one of my pills was stuck and I just didn't realize it. I started drinking warm tea and by the third cup I was feeling much better and everything I drink goes down just fine now. I've never had that happen before, ever.

Not sure if you have tried this -----  but I try to drink some water BEFORE I start to take pills.

I think it helps to 'lube the tube' and make them go down a little easier ---

Hi - I've always been able to take my pills too, but 3 weeks ago one got stuck and I had to have a partial unfil.  I am very, very careful now and only take one pill at a time.  Good luck to you!
