throat and sinus pressure



Recommended Posts

Well its been a while since I've checked in here. I received my second fill last week and finally am feeling some restriction. 6cc to date. I haven't seen anyone post a similar question, so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms. Since my last fill, I feel a slight pressure in my throat glands (tonsils?) some sinus pressure, sometimes minor headaches. I don't believe I'm coming down with a cold. This is not a feeling which is painful or worrisome, just curious if maybe the restriction on the upper stomach will cause some pressure to these other areas. These say the eyes, ears and throat are all connected. I am now three months post op. Have not lost any more weight since my initial Optifast diet, however now that I am eating so much less I'm sure that this will change, I hope anyway. I know I am not following the rules though, need to get to the gym and quit with the Xmas baking.

Well it looks to me like you are loosing weight. Remember, the turtle wins the race. Go slow and easy, focus on changing your eating habits, exercise and the weight will come off. I am the turle and have been loosing .85 lbs per week since February. But my eating habits are changing that is my goal. Hope you meet yours. Merry Christmas Doddie

I felt those same symptoms after my fill last week but I'm definitely coming down with a cold. I've felt miserable all weekend.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
