I think most of us have gotten something stuck before. If you can't get it
up, it will need to go down.
Try a small sip of diet coke and see if you can "bubble it up".
I've heard that some people have tried alka seltzer as well. Papaya
tablets you can get at the pharmacy are "nature's tenderizer". A
little swallow of olive oil might lubricate it enough to help it down.
I would highly recommend you call your surgeon or whoever is on call
immediately if not sooner. You didn't specify.... have you had Lapband or
RNY? Either way, once you resolve this situation, your stoma will be a
little irritated so take it easy for a few days.
Are you sliming or having the foamies?

You need to buy you some small 6 packs of pineapple juice.....keep them
everywhere you are.....make sure to keep them room temperture or
warm.....DO NOT DRINK COLD......when you get that stuck feeling shake a can
really well and take tiny sips......one of two things should happen.....you
will either have it go down or ....or it will come back up.....NEVER DRINK
WATER as it will make it worse and can compact the feeling......I keep
pineapple juice at work...in my car ...at home...in my sister's
truck......everywhere.......my Dr told me about this and it works most of
the time for me.........it has something to do about the enzymnes in the
pineapple juice....it may not work for you but it's worth a try.......

I tried standing on my head, and it just will not come up. Work it with
warm fluid and it is tough, because you can start to salavate. If so spit
it out and just let it work through. The most I have seen is 8 hours to
clear, but I have hear as long as 12 hours. If mine had not cleared in 8 I
was off to and emergency room to get it removed. Sorry for your pain.
Hang in there.

Mix a tsp of Meat Tenderizer in a little water and drink it. Dr told my
brother to do this years ago after his stomach stapling surg. Worked for
me after rny surg.

The big thing with the banders in my support group is warm broth with the
meat tenderizer in it.

Hi Russ, Hope your doing ok. I have had that happen but I think my throat
got scratched. I guess that can happen. It went away.

I had my RNY 8/22/2006. About a month out, I got a small piece of chicken
nugget caught, and they had to do an endoscopy to fish it out, needless to
say, being almost 2 yrs out, I won't touch anymore of those. you need to
call your surgeon, they will probably end up doing an endoscopy.
