I am by far not on my first fill, surgery in 2003, but I am having the same symptoms this time around. I can only eat about every three days as it seems once I eat I get that lump in my throat feeling and sometimes can't even drink anything. Others have suggested drinking a hot liquid to help with any swelling, especially if you throw up any but even that doesn't help. I think I am in the same boat and am going to have to go back and get some Fluid taken out.
