I haven't had that happen. You should call your doctor.

Do you mean a feeling like a "lump in your throat"? I get that (swollen) feeling sometimes and it lasts for at least a day. I think it's from eating either too big of bites or something my band doesn't like (bread, pasta). I've never PB'd or regurgitated, but I think those food "stick" to the stoma or cause it to swell and that's the lump feeling. I've figured out that when I get that feeling I need to spend a day with either liquids and/or mushies. By the next day I'm feeling great.

I had that feeling for a couple days and I am still in thick liquids...it could b "silent reflux".....makes u feel like u have mucus in your throat? Like gagging? I am pretty sure I have it because I had Tomato Soup a couple times before it happened to me and the acid in the Soup could've made it act up. I don't know if that's what u have but it's an idea...hope it helps and gets better soon :)

Hmmm... I'm interested in what other people think it is. I need to look into that silent reflux.

I had a hiatal hernia repair due to severe acid reflux Prior to lap band surgery. I haven't had reflux since :) However!!!... Lately, I have had a few moments like tightness in my chest (no slime, saliva, or regurgitation.) this is similar to the sensation of acid reflux that used to keep me up at Night and yes it can last throughout the day. I awake with a belch. This is not due to spicy, greasy foods but I am beginning to feel like its a sign that Im too Tight!

I am my 4 th fill and cant keep egg down in the AM. So I too am kindly seeking insight...:/

How long since you have been banded? I had a sore throat a couple of days after surgery and when I went for my check up I had thrush. I was given an antibiotic. It felt like I had thick flem stuck in my throat and it felt heavy. I got the thrush from the surgery. Oh I also got a medicine that you gargle and then swallow. The antibiotic they gave me was for...yeast infection (embarrassing uh yeah) but hey I knew what it was really for!!! But my throat hurt like it was sore too.

      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.
