Why Does It Feel Like Something Is Stuck In My Throat?



Recommended Posts

Is it because I haven't had a bm in over a week?

LMAO, I'm sorry, but all I could think is "I sure hope you're not backed up that far .).

My guess would be no, I think there would be much mor obvious problems before this would happen.

Have you ease food that is more dense than previously? Are you chewing thoroughly? Taking very small bites?

Yes, teeny tiny bites and chewing forever. But yes, more dense.

I get that feeling when I'm really full. Mind goes away after a bit. When do you get that sensation? How long does it last?

Is it painful? Mine isn't painful, it's just weird. :)

Its most likely acid reflux. You should call your doctor and tell him/her because you need to get on some acid reducders if that's the case. I'm dealing with the same issue. I saw an ENT two weeks ago because I thought the anesthesiologist messed up my vocal chords. After 4 weeks I was still sore and felt tight and like there was food stuck. She took a look with a camera and showed me the redness from the reflux and prescribed 300 mg of Zantac and Delexant. It was working ok, but the past two days have been a bit icky.

I am already on an acid reducer. And it is not painful, but weird. I wake up like that. It feels like that all day long. Ugh.

I'm betting that's the culprit. Dense Proteins, especially chicken is a bit harder to get down & I can only handle about 1/2 as much chicken as I can fish or Beans.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
