haapae1976 1 Posted January 1, 2012 Hi all, I just had the LB done on Dec 7, 2011. I feel great except I have a lump feeling in throat when I swallow. I am on purees. It is like when you swallow wrong and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. This just started on the 30th so I haven't called the doctor. I am so paranoid of slippage or a block. I saw the nutritionist on the 28th and said allll was good. Has anyone had this issue? If so please let me know it is so annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lollicatt 36 Posted January 15, 2012 I got banded on 10/27 so i've Bern on solids for a while and not at my green zone yet. I sometimes get that lump feeling too while i'm eating. Any ideas on what that, means? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it happen when you swallow Water? Is it worse early in the morning than in the evening? For me, I can "feel" my band 80% of the time with every swallow. I would not call it a lump, but perhaps close. For me, that's just the way it is and I live with it. I just make sure I take small swallows, no matter what it is. It can hurt if I gulp water! Let alone food.< /p> There is a band there after all, and it is controlling how and what I eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageTracey 608 Posted January 15, 2012 Try eating much more slowly than you could have ever imagined possible. Tiny bites etc and see if that makes a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
