It could be the swelling of you stomach caused by the surgery and should get better within the next few days. What do you mean by "tightness"? Are you still on liquids or mushie stage?

Next question do you suffer from allergies?

The tightness, I guess my throat feels like its tight or swelling. I'm on mushy stage. Yes I have allergies. I guess what has me concerned is I was fine for almost 2 Weeks then boom. But the swelling is what I'm also leaning towards.thank you

Also, maybe I did damage??? I've been drinking Water regularly not sipping.

Drinking Water should not cause damage. I don't sip... But I don't gulp either.

This happens to me with first meal of the day which leaves me feeling the urger to clear my throat often. I will say there are some triggers for this like if i eat anything with curry or ceartin spices. I would suggest starting out with a warm Soup before eating your meal and take a mental note of what foods make you feel this way and if possiable avoid them. Good luck.

Update!¡ So I went to the doctor today, and found out the problem. My surgeon put 6 cc in my band without me knowing. Its not the protocol either, he should have only put 1 to 3 cc max. My doctor (not my surgeon) said my body didn't heal completely due to restriction so fast. So now, back to liquids. Grrr

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
