Hey guys.. Was banded on Wed 31/10/12 and my throat has been killing me since.. My uvula is heaps swollen and throat infected.. Anyone else have this issue? Oh, i'm in heaps of pain too stomach wise

Hi, I didn't have any infection but my throat hurt so bad after I woke up and even days after. It was from the tube they put down my throat during surgery. It Really hurt!! Drink something warm. That helped me. Hope you feel better!!

Same with me.... From the tube I had a sore throat.

Yep mine was sore too id cough up chunks of bloody looking stuff it gets better.

Yeah mine too! It felt like something was stuck in my throat, due to all the swelling from the tube, warm salt water will help!

Gargle Warm Salt Water... but spit it out, don't swallow it! It will ease it. Did a Dr. tell you it was infected or just due to the soreness you think it is? My CRNA told me I would be sore. The pain meds should help this too...

I was banded 10/31 and have sore mouth throat and tounge.. I have thrush ... Got medication to flush out medication

Thanks for your reply guys.. Yeh Dr said it was badly infected.. On antibiotics now.. Hurts like hell.. hopefully will get better soon.. I'll try the salt water thing.. Thanks again guys

Me too. They even chipped my tooth. 2 yrs ago i had another surgery that they busted my top and bottom lip and scratched down my throat. This time other than the chipped tooth they damaged something in the back of my throat and my burps wouldn't pass my throat.. It took a month to heal
