Stuck in throat?

[sophiesmom12 3]

Hey all... I am newly banded, and on puréed food. Since yesterday afternoon (around 5) ( last ate around 1:30pm) I have felt like I have something towards the top of my throat stuck. I also feel slightly swollen in my belly region. I was burping with nothing coming up, and am able to keep everything else down.. liquids, my dinner puree. No pain. Just really annoying! Any ideas on what this could be? When I did try to get it up, nothing came up at all!

In my own experience, a "stuck" feeling occurs almost immediately upon eating, not hours after. I'm wondering if you're experiencing some reflux and/or gas (the belly swelling), but this is only speculation. You can give your surgery practice a call to run it by them. If you feel tenderness when you press on the swollen area, be sure to let them know. Don't expect the worst; you're new at this and there really is much to learn. I think the learning curve never ends.
