Strange feeling



Recommended Posts

I have not PB'd or vomited once since having my revision surgery on 2/27, but I feel this thickness when I swallow, like it almost feels like there is a mucus buildup. The thing is though that I don't have a cold/cough or anything, so I can't attribute it to that. All of my food/liquid goes down fine, but it just feels tight when I'm NOT eating--is this weird? Is it all in my head? lol. Can anyone relate?!

That lump is a sign of being too tight, but since you don't have other symptoms of being too tight, you probably aren't.

Probably better to check with your doctor who will be able to do an exam and evaluate the entire situation?

Why did you have to have revision surgery?

Hi Ebar,

I was also banded by Dr Fielding and fortunately have not vomited or PB'd yet. I am 6 weeks post op now, and have been steadily loosing weight. All my fdoods/liquids go down ok, even though I know I am not eating/drinking as slowly as I should be. I always seem to have an urge to burp (small one, not PB), especially after eating. Last Thurs I had an urge for steak, and tried a small piece. I cut it in very tiny pieces & chewed it at least 30 times. It all went down ok, and afterwards I burped. Since then, I have been able to regularly have small burps. Go figure...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
