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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
