Weird symptoms after lapband removal

[amella 0]

I had my lapband removed 1 week ago. I have hot flashes (not fever) and the roof of my mouth feels real hot, burns when I rub it with my tongue and my right neck gland is slightly swollen which gets much worse if I eat something along with sore throat. anyone else have those weird symptoms? My body is almost reacting allergically to any food I put in my mouth.

Have you checked with your surgeon?

There is potential for this to be a related vagus nerve irritation following surgery.

The neurology of the area is complex and would require clinical evaluation to confirm.

While likely being of temporary issue, it is beyond the forum capacity to make statements of certainty in such matters.

Please keep us posted.

Like Jack says, call your surgeon. Congrats on getting your band removed.

I'm having my band removed in 4 days. 5 days ago I called my Dr. b/c I have a sore throat and have been talking and swallowing a little differently. No pain, but the roof of my throat at times feels as if it's swelling causing me to talk with a little lisp. If not gone by tomorrow, I'll head to the ER b/c I thought it may be a cold coming on, but the cold symptoms left today but the roof of my throat still feels sort of numb at times. The nurse asked if I could still swallow, and the answer is yes but a couple of times liquids have gone down the wrong pipe and I've gotten strangled.

Hi Amelia

I have no idea what is going on and am sorry you had those symptoms.

How are you now?

What did it turn out to be?

I hope everything's resolved.
