But last week  - it started that I notice I have a STUCK feeling or is it acide refulx type stuff?

I notice it when I wake up at night.....and after I take a pill (small pencil eraser size pills too)
I noticed it too when I go to bed at night......sometimes the morning time gets better so I am wondering if it is a lack of sleep issue with my c-pap machine issue or what?     

Just kinda bothersome.............

Could this be the reflux issues rearing its ugly head or is it a "stuck" issue?    I did grab some pistaccious because I was craving salt this morning and after eating those.....yikes - that hurt too..so I'm thinking a "stuck issue"......

Yes - I'm eating but I realized this morning even eating cottage cheese - it hurts a ltitle.....but I'm holding everything down and not naseated either........I'm drinking fluids and all of that......so I'm just gonna hang in there and tough it out.    Now if I do start NOT holding anything down - I'll call pcp - and/or surgeon !!

Phyllis....I have not tried this by some people swear by Papya Enzimes.....I may have misspelled that.   They are chewable and someone said you can get them at Walmart.   Why don't you go get some and chew them and see if possibly they will help you out.   Someone said that they are cheap.    I have not tired them as I said but I have heard that if something gets "hung up" it will help to disolve it.   Good luck and hope that feeling goes away soon.   Doesn't sound like acid reflux to me though.

Sounds like you might have a stricture to me.  If I were you I'd call the doc.

thast what I was thinking too - but I AM NOT SICK.  I'm holding everything down just fine and not throwing anything up.

Well, I would still get it checked because as Steph said, it does kinda sound like a stricture brewing.  Better to be safe than sorry.  It's easily diagnosed with the EGD so go call your doc!!!

Can you get a stricture this late in the game?  Just a question, because I really don't know.

That's interesting and one of the things I have been afraid of happening being so far away from my surgeon.  I was hoping that wasn't something I would have to worry about as I near 1 year.
