humnopnop 8 Posted February 11, 2013 Having trouble swallowing ... I am three months out down 65 pounds however, within the last 5 days I have been experiencing pain when I swallow. It feels like a big lump. Makes me short of breath and nauseated. I have chewed my food to mush but still have troubles. I eat things like Beans, scram egg, chicken. Has anyone experienced this? If so what were your remedies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted February 11, 2013 It does not happen a lot, but it's not uncommon either for the esophagus to constrict near the stomach, or for there to even be a stricture at the top of the stomach. Either way the resolution is fairly simple. You'd need to see your Dr. about getting scoped and having the restriction dilated. This is a very simple office procedure and can be taken care of in just a few minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
