Jazzy1125 thanks for your well wishes.

S@ssen@ch thanks for your reply. Did anything help you? Did it eventually go away or did you find the reason for it. Or are you still putting up with it. i don’t have any reflux just like you said this lump in my throat feeling. Never had reflux or this before the op so all new to me. Im glad someone has experienced the same and made sense of what I was saying. sorry for all the questions

I’ve tried solids, jelly is the best I’ve had and some bits of ham or very soft pasta is the best I can get down but doesn’t seem to matter how slow I eat them or how much I chew with them I end up sick. I guess I’m now to scared to try them now. I have discussed it with nutritionist and my surgeon and they both are thinking I’m eating it to quick or not chewed enough. Then say go back to soft or liquids again. And start the process again im seeing surgeon again in 3 weeks, and reviewing this. At my last visit he was surprised how much I had lost. Especially Xmas time. I had told him I’m living on soups over cooked noodles and puréed mince and puréed veggies (sometimes) coz I’m having trouble with everything else. I don’t eat much with what I eat I’m lucky if I get a full cup of soup down, and only a few spoonfuls of anything I can’t eat anymore, which is obviously working but I am still hungry. hes happy I’m not to tight as I’m not up where I was when I got sick and went to er.... i haven’t asked about the lump in throat feeling as I have not had it when visiting him. I haven’t had a fill in a while and he’s not planning to. i guess I’m just not sure what the lump feeling is and asking if anyone has had it in there experience and what they found it was and how to help. Probably stressing over nothing

BHi elcee thanks for your reply. I’m 7 months since band. I’ve had this a couple times before but the lump in the throa feeling was gone with in a day. I am getting water through but feel it going past this lump feeling. I’m not sure why I have it. I literally haven’t eaten anything solid since op. I’m living on soup and custard type stuff still. i had been over filled previously a few months ago when I couldn’t get anything including wTer where I did have to go to er and had 3 cc’s taken out at that point and that settled everything at that point. Lots of swelling from throwing up had shut everything up. ive had the pain at the band feeling when stuck I know that one too well but up in the throat at back of mouth has me stumped. ill try your ice idea hopefully it helps 😊 Ps. Is this a problem all the time, I have considered revising to sleeve if I’m having stupid issues with the band.

Hi guys hope your all well. I have a question for you well experienced banders. Do you have times ( I’m mean last for days) when you feel a lump in your throat. Not at the band site literally at the back of your mouth. Ive had this a couple times before and it righted itself with in a day but I haven’t had a meal in 4 days I’ve tried to have soup but threw it back up all with this lump feeling in my throat. ive lost approx 26kgs maybe more since weigh in, so loving that fact Just wondering if anyone has had this and what your experience is with it and what it is. Cheers

Hi CLeigh thanks for replying ......I amworried about slipping or something going on but I have been throwing up every time I try and eat and I’m only trying to eat liquid. Surely that can’t be the wrong food. I know I’m only in my first year and I know it’s suppose to be hard and you have to adjust but 7 straight months of vomiting there has to be something wrong. i don’t know how to make the doc listen to me and not just write me off and say it’s my fault

Hi everyone i was lap banded in May and I am having extreme troubles. currently have 5ccs in my band have lost 18 kgs but having complications story is early May had op given my instructions and followed them to the letter While in hospital had yoghurt, soup as a diet. Had first fill after 6 weeks post op and have had a few more since. Was still on soup and yoghurt diet. But was vomiting every time I took a mouthful. I was eventually filled up to 6ccs but couldnt get good or water down. Was sent to emergency room they took out 3 cc’s and I could drink water again but took a week before I got soup down again. Back to surgeon he says it’s my fault “I’m eating the wrong things”....how can trying to eat soup be wrong. nutritionist says I should of been back on solid foods ages ago just restricted amount. well I’ve said to surgeon I can’t eat I’m only trying to eat / drink soup but he filled me still .5ccs at a time. Literally every time I try to eat a teaspoon of something I throw it up and keep throwing up. in 7 months I’ve only been able to get a weeks worth of food into me and it’s only soup or yoghurt. Now I can even get soup down it’s getting hard to drink water. I haven’t had anything solid since op I’m literally starving, I’m dehydrated and I’m sure vomiting continuously for 7 months is doing some sort of damage. And the constant pain in my chest is to much to bare and the feeling of lump in my throat is ridiculous i please I need answers..... - has anyone else had this much trouble? - if so what was is the outcome - what can I say to my surgeon to make him believe and listen to me? surely trying to eat soup is not wrong choice as I haven’t had meat or anything solid in so long - Am I better off having a sleeve instead I know it permanent but least I could have something go down?
