gmanbat 5,889 Posted December 29, 2012 Your throat was swollen because of the tubes irritating it? Did you get another leak test later? Congratulations to both of you youngun's from a 64 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelsey 4 Posted December 29, 2012 No I didn't have to get another one done because i slowly tested myself. I can feel it going down and my throat makes a weird noise sometimes when I swallow. He said it could be from the tubes, or just being young. He said each person is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmanbat 5,889 Posted December 29, 2012 I am sooo sore today Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon. I have never heard of being young as a reason for a sore throat or noise when you swallow. But I am no doctor. Yes, each person is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelsey 4 Posted December 29, 2012 The noise is gone now and swallowing is much better. I just swelled up more than most. But I'm back on track now and everything is Normal. 1 gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCurvyJones 721 Posted December 29, 2012 I am sooo sore today Take your pain meds, get your walking in and concentrate on healing! Also an anti acid and Tums chewables are great for gas and swelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted December 29, 2012 Chelsey and Teribearyy, I'm a 64 year old guy who went through cancer treatment which devastated my body. I am 11 months out and working out like I'm 30. I lost over 100 pounds and healed up pretty quickly from the operation. If I can do well, so can you. Everyone is different but I'd put money on the odds that those young bodies are going to do quite well. Elasticity and quick recovery are in your corner. Use your new life well, young ladies. Conquer your bodies with your minds. We are here to help you if you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
