Pressure and sorness in the throat



Recommended Posts

For the last 3 days I have had some pressure and soreness in my throat. This happens pretty much all the time, but is worse after a meal or after I drink a lot.

Now, I have spoken to my doc. Since I have a sinus drainage and sinus headache the belief is it is due to that, not my band.

Maybe I worry to much. The last time I had thoat pressure I has having a lot of reflux due to my gallbladder needing to come out.

I hope that it's just the drainage that has my throat irritated, but worry that it's reflux and could damage my band.

Normally I would take the wait a few days as see approch like the doc said, but I am leaving in 2 days for Florida for a week. I don't want to get to Orlando and end of in the ER.

Sounds like the symptoms I have withe reflux as well. It could be as a result of the sinus issues, but is there any way you can get in for a slight unfill? I'm very conservative and have gone in for a couple of unfills quickly, rather than wait to see if I got better/worse. Each time I immediately felt better, and was later able to add back what had been taken out. Since you are going out of town, might be better safe than sorry and have some taken out now.

Good Luck!

      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.
