Lump in throat, possibly bubble air stuck?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

new here. I was banded in 2015. My band was recently too tight after a full which left me unable to drink Fluid. Had fluid removed and all going since then. Able to eat as normal as any band patient.

during the weekend I experienced a major espisode when some food got stuck. I was vomiting a lot to remove it. Since then I can feel a lump or air stuck in the bottom of my throat. It's only slightly painful but mainly uncomfortable and I need to burp a lot. Does anyone have any ideas how I can relieve this pain? Or what it could be?

thanks in advance

Hi, banded 11/30/2016. I don't know if this is the same thing, but a few months ago I had a similar problem after eating shrimp. I didn't chew well enough and was probably eating too fast (one of my main issues!). A restless night followed by the next day a feeling of an uncomfortable "lump" in my throat even when drinking sips of Water. I got in to see my surgeon that day, he sent me for an upper gi. No blockage was seen by that time. He had me do Liquid Protein and soft foods for 2 days just to calm things down. I have been fine since then. He truly believes that it was a bit of shrimp temporarily stuck. I don't know what you ate before this happened. He told me shrimp is a problem for a lot of patients, but I can eat it if I chew thoroughly like we are supposed to. I hope this helped, best wishes for your journey!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
