Hi there! I was banded yesterday morning and have had a sore throat since. I realize they have to intubate you so this can happen but how long will this last? I now have a very high pitched squeeky voice and sometimes the words don't come out at all. I also seem to have a lot of mucus in my throat that just won't seem to come out, though I keep trying to cough it up (gently as possible). Anyone else have these issues? Thanks very much!!

totally normal! sugar free popsicles can really help.

Cough drops, cough drops and cough drops. I had one in my mouth non-stop for 2 days. It really did help.

My throat was sore for about 3-4 days. Sf Popsicles helped. I now feel bad when I intubate animals.

Mine lasted about 3-4 days also. I used cloraseptic spray and sucked on popsicles.

My sore throat lasted a few days. Ice pops definitely helped.

Thank you all so much!! I feel much better now, I was starting to worry! :iloveuall:

For me it lasted about two-three days. I would watch out on cough drops though. You don't want to swallow one accidentally! sugar free popsicles were so awesome. I forgot I had them until day three and it was heaven to eat one!!
