Event Description

Plenity prescription weight loss supplement.It is supposed to expand in your stomach to make you feel full.The pill got stuck in my esophagus and expanded there.They did an endoscopy but the gel was so coagulated they had trouble removing it.They did eventually get it but there were complications and i was hospitalized overnight.This could have been life threatening, had i not gotten to the er right away or if it had lodged higher up.
