HELP!!!

Ok in May I will be 5 years out and I *think* I have a freaking slip.  I have been in pain since Sunday and can only get down liquids and some think soups.  I have severe pain when swallowing right under my ribs.  I have a ton of stuff going on at work this week so I have been trying to make it through the week by just doing liquids but the pain has not stopped.  Not sure if insurance will cover anything since I have new insurance.  Just really scared right now.

Oh...why would I have a slip? well, I was at Red Lobster and got a piece of shrimp stuck and threw up a LOT.

Damn! Lets hope its just severely irritated and an unfill will fix you right up. Well you better give the MD a call and get the proper testing needed to figure it out for sure.

Make sure you keep yourself hydrated in the interim. Good Luck Lara Nicole!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope it all works out. 

Lara -- hopefully it is just irritated (and wildly pissed off at you) ---

Maybe a little unfill -- and some time --- and the band will reseat itself for you.

I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

My doctor told me that once you are 4 years out and over that, statistically, you are more likely to have a slip. He requires an endoscopy check up yearly, at that stage.

Hopefully, it's not a slip, and you are doing a good thing by being on liquids, but since you are still in pain, you really need to see your doctor.

Good luck!

 Some slips resolve with an unfill, so see your surgeon ASAP

And hello there, stranger!
