goopy in your lungs after surgery anyone?

I had surgery yesterday and today I woke up hacking (which believe me doesnt feel good at all in my current state). I wasnt feeling sick at all when I went in for surgery yesterday. Im wondering if this is just a side effect from the anastesia when they put the tube down my throat and pumped air into my lungs. Or maybe Im getting sick? I really really really really really hope Im not getting sick. Anyone else get phlemmy after surgery?:scared2:

My band recently slipped and when I went in to fix it I woke up like this and was coughing up mucus for a few days. Not sure what causes it...

I also had some weird coughing after my surgery. I remember being worried because it hurt like crazy, and I was afraid I would do something to hurt it! It wasn't a real mucousy cough though... more of a dry cough/tickle in the throat. It went away after a few days.

Good luck!

Yep, just wanted to let you know that this went away after a few days. It must have had something to do with the air they pumped in my lungs with the tube while in surgery. It was a little irritating because it hurt to cough, plus I was worried I was getting sick and that was the last thing I wanted to deal with while recovering. But yeah it totally went away after two days as suddenly as it came. I am four days post op and feel great. =)
