I know this is pretty gross, but I wanted to know if anybody else has experienced this. I was banded on Tuesday and I seem to constantly have mucus in my throat. I try to cough it up, but nothing comes up. Maybe there is nothing really there and it's just my throat healing from having the tube in it during surgery? Anybody else experience this feeling?:wink2:

Thank you SO much for your reply. I felt like it was probably my sinuses and not something coming up from the band. I am on the clear liquid diet phase and I have been eating sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, chicken broth, G2 Gatorade and Water. I will have my first fill at 6 weeks. Sometimes those sugar free items seem to cause a film in the back of my throat and then the drainage makes it feel even more yucky and thick. I am so glad to know this will pass. Thanks again.:thumbup:

Hi, I've been banded over a year and whenever I overdo it and eat a little more than I'm supposed to, I get severe mucus in my chest that makes me cough like I have a respiratory infection. It's happened since day one so don't be alaramed. It sucks but it passes after a few minutes for me.

Congrats on you band and best of luck :w00t:

Hello, I was banded 9/21 and I am on the same boat as you. I cough so bad t the point where I can hardly breathe. I also have been short on breath when I am talking, I have to stop and recompose myself and get a good whip of air down my chest. It is so anoying especially when I am around people, it is not like I can stop the coughing and vomit sound, they are automatic. Another thing that has been happening to me since being banded is that I make moaning sounds in my sleep!:thumbup: No nightmares, no erotic dreams, what is happening to me? I just don't understand why all this is going on with my system. My hubby tells me that he thinks this cough will stay with me for the rest of my life, I honestly think so too!:w00t:

Yep. Same thing happened to me. When you're in surgery and they give you a tube to breath, saliva trickles down your throat and into your lungs. When this happens the lungs react with producing mucus that's easier to cough up to get the other stuff out of your lungs.

It's happened to me everytime I've had surgery.

I was banded 2 1/2 years ago and I get so much mucus during the night it comes up my throat and out my nose its a real MESS. I too think this will stay with me for as long as my band is real tight. I am still losing weight.
