Has anyone one tried throat numbing?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone who has been sleeved used a throat numbing spray or lozenge after surgery for the pain. I bet after they put the bougie in and move it around a lot that the throat hurts quit a bit!

Don't recall a sore throat but did have a dry mouth and was give a mouth swab.

My Dr won't allow gum or mints the 1st 2 weeks just in case they are accidently swallowed.

I had a scratchy throat for several days. My voice was actually different for close to a week because of it. But, it didn't really hurt. It was more like when I have really bad seasonal allergies. It felt more dry than anything. I never needed anything for it, but the pain meds you will have will help too if you have a sore throat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
