food getting stuck/pain

Hi everyone, I just was wondering if anyone has had any problems with food getting stuck or having pain when you eat anything with consistency..I have vomited twice because something got caught...I really chew and take the smallest bites..It concerns me.. I seem to do well with soups and things that are in a soup base, but meats and fish are the worst...I just don't know if this is normal...

The only time I had a problem was with popcorn. However, I do know from experience that a stricture can be the problem when you things get stuck. I had a VBG about 7 years ago and my staple line created a stricture and eventually broke apart. With the RNY (which I had about 8mths ago) they say you can still get a stricture (which is when the opening to your stomach starts to close). I would suggest talking to your doctor. They can fix these strictures realatively simple. It is a out patient procedure and all they do it put something down your throat and open up the closing. (they put you out to do it). I know 2 people from my support group that have had it done and they say it was a piece of cake. Please talk to you surgeon to make sure that is the problem. Good luck.

I wasn't able to start eating any type of meats till 7 months out they started going down easier. I don't know how far out you are, but you may have a stricture also.
