2 weeks post-OP sore throat?

[JessS 25]

Hey guys. I started mushie foods this week and notice that I usually get a sore throat that I can feel swallowing for a while after eating. liquids don't do it, just anything more dense. I know getting nicked by the breathing tube during surgery can cause sore throats, but what I've read says it should clear in a few days.

Did anyone else have sore throat post surgery this long after?

@@JessS I didn't after Lap Band surgery, but after I had my gallbladder removed I lost my voice for a week and my throat was sore for several weeks after. That being said, I would give your surgeon a call just to be safe.

Also, have you had heartburn or any acid reflux issues? Or did they do a hernia repair?

Keep us updated!

Maybe go back to full liquids for a few days -- also it's allergy season so that could be a factor....Checking with the doc always a good idea! And congratulations on the band! It's really all about the signaling of the esophageal squeezes up to the brain so you get that satiety. Good time to be listening in to the body and learning your signals -- it will all come together. It you're still healing. Best wishes to you for a wonderful summer of health!
