I everyone, I had my LB on Monday 8/15. Besides a couple od days of being very uncomfortable (which i expected). Last night i got a lump in my thoat, about where the Adams apples is. Its so annoying is there something going on here. I sure hope it doesn go on to much longer. It is not restriction - its way to high for that. Thank you!!

Call your doctor, please! After I had my surgery I had terrible gas pains, and everyone said it was normal. Not their fault, it was based on their personal experience. I knew it wasn't right. The last thing I thought it could be was restriction, right? WRONG! There was Fluid in my band after surgery. . My Doctor also said their could be air in the band as well. I had the fluid removed and still had to spend 10 hours in the ER! It was worth it because I feel better. I am not saying this is the case with you, but whatever it is, don't rely on the forum, call your doctor!

Sorry all I think you misunderstood me. I have what feels like a lump in my throat, i can drink and there is not a blockage. I am doing rather fantasic to be honest. Just feels like there is like Flem or something there. I had googled this question and had many people say they had the same thing. Some for a long time some for just a few weeks. I am seeing the doctor today so i will report back. Thank you all so much!!

It's quite normal. During surgery you were intubated and that can cause some scar tissue in your throat, which - disgustingly enough - can 'catch' drippage from your nose, which means it's likely you do have phlegm in there. Drink some hot tea with honey to help clear it up.

Yep I agree,, It's something tied into the band, swelling, or above. Check with your Doctor, and see what he says.

Part of my stomach is pulled up over the band, and then stitched. I also hear this helps prevents slippage. I hope that's true.

I constantly feel like I have a knot in my throat, but that's me......

You will find out ! As long as you are clear, that's a plus.

Yes, please let us all know. It probably does have to do with the intubation, but I am sure your doctor can tell you exactly what it is. We're all waiting ;-)

Yes, indeed it was about the Flem from the incubation. And today its gone. It might come back until it heals completely. Thank you for your advice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
