I haven't had that happen. You should call your doctor.

Do you mean a feeling like a "lump in your throat"? I get that (swollen) feeling sometimes and it lasts for at least a day. I think it's from eating either too big of bites or something my band doesn't like (bread, pasta). I've never PB'd or regurgitated, but I think those food "stick" to the stoma or cause it to swell and that's the lump feeling. I've figured out that when I get that feeling I need to spend a day with either liquids and/or mushies. By the next day I'm feeling great.

I had that feeling for a couple days and I am still in thick liquids...it could b "silent reflux".....makes u feel like u have mucus in your throat? Like gagging? I am pretty sure I have it because I had Tomato Soup a couple times before it happened to me and the acid in the Soup could've made it act up. I don't know if that's what u have but it's an idea...hope it helps and gets better soon :)

Hmmm... I'm interested in what other people think it is. I need to look into that silent reflux.

I had a hiatal hernia repair due to severe acid reflux Prior to lap band surgery. I haven't had reflux since :) However!!!... Lately, I have had a few moments like tightness in my chest (no slime, saliva, or regurgitation.) this is similar to the sensation of acid reflux that used to keep me up at Night and yes it can last throughout the day. I awake with a belch. This is not due to spicy, greasy foods but I am beginning to feel like its a sign that Im too Tight!

I am my 4 th fill and cant keep egg down in the AM. So I too am kindly seeking insight...:/

How long since you have been banded? I had a sore throat a couple of days after surgery and when I went for my check up I had thrush. I was given an antibiotic. It felt like I had thick flem stuck in my throat and it felt heavy. I got the thrush from the surgery. Oh I also got a medicine that you gargle and then swallow. The antibiotic they gave me was for...yeast infection (embarrassing uh yeah) but hey I knew what it was really for!!! But my throat hurt like it was sore too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
