I had that feeling my first week and I didn't get in enough fluids cause I was so sick and I had that feeling again for a day I ate something and It got stuck so I had to do a pb. It's probably mucus if you don't feel good. Usually with a pb I guess you don't really burp but mucus/slimy stuff comes up and the piece you ate. What made me feel better which I didn't want to do but couldn't be avoided tried to avoid it as long as I could and it just happened so it was like a vomiting but not actual vomiting nothing came up wish the feeling in my throat did. But after those episodes I started feeling better after I did that and I don't know why but that was my case with the stuck feeling in my throat sorry if I scared you ):

I had that feeling too my first week, it was the swelling, it just takes time to go down. if you are really concerned I would just call the dr's office just to be sure.

I've had the same problem for 5 weeks now. I had a barium swallow test and discover that I'm having esophageal spasms. am taking medine for it, past two weeks, but still having them.

Did you have a barium swallow test? Do you know whether or not you are also having esophageal spasms?

hope you get better soon, it is miserable to always be aware of the band...

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
