Hi all, I just had the LB done on Dec 7, 2011. I feel great except I have a lump feeling in throat when I swallow. I am on purees. It is like when you swallow wrong and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. This just started on the 30th so I haven't called the doctor. I am so paranoid of slippage or a block. I saw the nutritionist on the 28th and said allll was good. Has anyone had this issue? If so please let me know it is so annoying.

I got banded on 10/27 so i've Bern on solids for a while and not at my green zone yet. I sometimes get that lump feeling too while i'm eating. Any ideas on what that, means?

When you say swallow , do you mean when you swallow your food? Does it happen when you swallow Water?

Is it worse early in the morning than in the evening?

For me, I can "feel" my band 80% of the time with every swallow. I would not call it a lump, but perhaps close.

For me, that's just the way it is and I live with it. I just make sure I take small swallows, no matter what it is. It can hurt if I gulp water! Let alone food.

There is a band there after all, and it is controlling how and what I eat.

Try eating much more slowly than you could have ever imagined possible. Tiny bites etc and see if that makes a difference.
