Im 10 days out and my throat feels like something is stuck in the back of it. I feel it all the time. It does not seem to contrict my Fluid intake although it feels like its drying up because of my breathing so I find myself swallowing all the time.

Im still having terrible trapped air bubble pains no matter how slow I sip, today I usea a gasx cheweable and it did not help. warm or cold, ice liquid, all the sme effect. Is this normal healing? Feel like Im going insane.

I am a month out and still feel it. I was told it was swelling in the esophagus from surgery. Try a popsicle to reduce swelling.

Besides the incision pain, this was my biggest scare. It totally will go away. I am not ever really sure when mine went away, but it does!

Thanks guys. I've never been more miserable and depressed in my life. Im feeling like I made the wrong decision doing this surgery and now I have to deal with this for the rest of my life. I have yet to find anyone talking about the discomforts of this surgery so people who are thinking about it can really understand this is a MAJOR life change. I'm pretty much alone on this journey. Very few people know I done this.

And even though Ive dropped a dress size, I can't enjoy my weight loss if I am not feeling healthy and not seeing a life change improvement when I keep suffering from this feeling in my throat, the pain from the air being trappped every time I take in any flluids and the feeling of harm that could happen to me because I can't get in 70gm of Protein or 48oz of Water per day.

Sorry to be so negative, just feeling so so down. My doc office said to give it until Wednesday if I still feel the same to call and I will need to have a camera placed down my throat and whatever other test they do for this situation to see if there is any blockage.

Anyway thanks for letting me grieve and thanks again for sharing your experiences.
