Hi Everyone. I got my band last Thursday, and am down 6 pounds so far. I'm psyched about that! I've been feeling some pain in my lower throat / esophagus / upper chest when drinking. Am I drinking too big a swallow, or is this normal with the tube I had down my throat during surgery? Thanks for any feedback!

I am 4 months out and I still get that feeling sometimes if i take to big of gulp of water or to big of bite of food. Its hard to remember, but I have to slow down and take small bites

For the first few weeks after surgery my throat hurt so much. Then my teeth hurt too my doc said it was because of the tube from surgery.

It got so bad I had to take meds for the pain and even went to a dentist just to double check my teeth.

It would affect me sometimes when I was eating, drinking or even not doing anything. It even woke me up a few times in the middle of the night.

Don't worry after a while it will go away, its just a little uncomfortable.
