Hairballs or Hairy Throat???

K so I was sleeved on the 26th of August, and for about the last week or so I have this feeling like I have a ton of hair in the back of my throat, I have looked in the mirror and I don't see anything. My hubby said he cant see any hair, but I FEEL it in there. No matter how much I sip and sip and sip I can't get the feeling to go away. It makes me gag if I think about it too long. Does anyone else have this? I thought maybe it was something to do with just me, but I have heard of weird things happening after the surgery so just wondering if anyone else experiences it.

I know it's weird, but thanks in advance for the input!!

I've had a weird feeling in my throat since surgery (1/12/11). Kind of like something is pressing on my throat. I initially thought it was from the intubation, but it hasn't gone away. The doctor would like to scope it, but I'm holding out. Keep hoping it goes away. May just have to break down and do it.:blink:

I had this and I thought I was going to literally die if it went on forever. The hairy throat or the lump that stuck there. I started a PPI and it helped, but I do think it just went away on its own. It will go away.

LOL! I have the same issue. I have attributed it to nothing solid going down my throat to "clean" it. I have the same problem on my teeth. I have to brush them 4 to 5 times a day to get the "hair" off because I can't stand the way it feels. I crunched on some ice chips last night and was amazed that the "hair" was not there after chewing. Today, I am chewing gum and it is working. I figure my throat will clear once I can swallow something that is not just liquid.
