Something stuck!

[Gfish]

HI , I'm nearly 4 yrs post Ivor lewis and recently had a pyloric dilation which has been a success. Today after gardening seem to have something stuck , with lots of burping and saliva. It feels a bit uncomfortable to swallow. Have tried fizzy drink, ice cream and yogurt in small amounts to try to dislodge but to no avail! How long do I carry on before ringing my Specialist nurse?

Just ring the nurse. They are normally happy to help.

Thanks, happy to report that 30mins after posting and keeping hydrated whatever it was went through.

Don't delay: call your nurse today. That's why they're allocated and that's their duty and function. After my IL, I felt that I had in manner of speaking used up my credit and that there were others treading the path behind me whose need exceeded mine. When on a follow-up appointment I admitted this, I was frankly given a dressing down. Our curative pathway involves a huge commitment of time, money and skill none of which should be jeopardized through a reticence to address matters before they become problems. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to your team: make contact today!

Thanks, Agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying . No reticence on my part hence the post as an initial action. I have a great team to call on and have done previously- just thought someone might have had similar experience. Happy to report that kept hydrated and obstruction cleared.

That's excellent news!
