It may be a reaction to the anethesia (sp)... or they may have bruised something during the surgery (I know Mikey was tough to intubate... he was hoarse & sore for days).

5 weeks seems a long time for a bruise to improve though, you might run it by your surgeon or primary care doc... they can check your throat & see if it's red or something.

Ok, so I don't really have a clue, lol, but it seems too close to the surgery to not have its origin there.

Good luck & keep us posted!

I would have that checked out. Mine was kinda sore for 2 days but has since gone away. 5 weeks is a long time, call your doc!!! Good luck!
