Irritated Throat and/or Espohogus

[Corgi 0]

I was wondering if any of you have had this feeling since being banded. After eating a meal, sometimes I feel like my back throat or espohogus is streching or irritated, like my food is backing up? Maybe this is a sign that my upper stomach/pouch is full. Has anyone ever had this feeling?

Absolutely. When I have good restriction, the first place I feel it is my throat. I had sore throats every day for a long time after surgery. They're gone now. Funny that I forgot all about it till you mentioned it.

Sounds like a signal that you are full. But if you get it through out the day and not just at a meal time then you should contact your Doc..

Welcome to the world of restriction! When you get that feeling, STOP EATING. Your esophagus is not intended to hold food in it for any length of time, and if you can feel it in the back of your throat that is indeed what's happening. Eat slower, eat less, chew carefully.
