Is it just me? but I have what I relate to having swallowed a pill and it doesn't go down all the way. And it feels like its stuck in my throat. It's really irritating me and It's uncomfortable. Anyone else have this happen? Thx

Sorry that happen to you. I have not had this problem because I take chewables or use a pill crusher. Maybe others can provide a solution.

How far out are you? I'm 3 weeks out and my surgeon said I shouldnt be taking any pills at all...just chewables, sublinguals, and capsules. He said pills can get stuck. I have some smaller pills (birth control, etc) that are fine though.

That sounds a lot like reflux. Are you on any reflux meds?

I don't think I was clear (sorry)' date=' its not really a pill stuck, that's just what it feels like, I only take chewables and sublingual. I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow.[/quote']

Ohhh. Is it when you swallow Fluid and food? I felt that with Fluid for awhile when my gulps were too big. Like I was swallowing air bubbles.

I get a lot of hiccuping whenever I swallow something and a feeling of something stuck like you said the stuck tablet I'm on reflux tablets and I'm 14 days post op still hurts when I hiccup! Wish it would go away

My doc said it was acid reflux as well as throat and stomach irritation. He prescribed prilosec and a liquid to take 4 times a day for swelling. Ive been on the meds for over a week of has been awesome! What a relief!

      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.
