- I am 3 weeks post banded and everything has gone just perfect. Then 3 days ago, it seems as if I have something stabbing me in the bottom of my esophagus. It feels like when you have something stuck and then its sore afterwards. But, I didn't have anything get stuck. All I had that day was mashed potatoes and some ice cream. I really only feel it when I swallow a certain way or take a really deep breath. It doesn't feel far down in my stomach, just at the bottom of my throat. Does that make sense to anybody?? I'm just wondering if anyone experienced anything like this? Oh, I did take some tylenol that day but I cut them up to swallow. I just can't figure out what I've done. :help: Thanks for any insight you might have!!!
