I was banded Dec 27 and all went well. I'm pretty much over my soreness and back to my regular rountine. I am pretty exhausted after work but other than that, things have been good. Until this weekend. For the past several days, I've felt as though I have a lump in my throat. It comes and goes and I have no idea what is causing it. I am still on a all liquid diet so noting is stuck. Any ideas?

me too..its weird but it does go away...I heard different theories....one of them is stress..the other one is that your stomach is sored and touches a nerve that sends a signal to your brain which sends another signal to your throat..pretty much making it think that you over ateits annoying but will go away

I've got it too, 3 weeks post op. It does come and go, but seems to be more prevalent during the morning hours. It's odd, can't put my finger on it...

During surgery they put a tube down your throat. This is what is probably causing this feeling. I had it after my surgery and it was so annoying. I would wake up in the middle of the night from it, would lose my voice because of it during class while teaching etc. I called my doc and went to see him right away because it was freaking me out. He explained it was common and happens because of the tube.

Here is my experience
