Sore Throat(PLEASE HELP)



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I think I need some help. I didn't think much of it for the last few weeks post op. I just thought I may have had a sore throat. I know it's not a sore throat b/c it's not going away or even getting somewhat better. Anytime I swallow, the left side of my throat hurts. It's very annoyiny and I worried that it's my esophogus. I could be wrong. I don't have a fill and I'm 1 month post op. I've had this problem for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Please help.

Emily, I agree, it may be from the tubes. I was banded last Tuesday and my throat hurts alot. On the left side too. Mine is from the tubes I know. I awoke with the pain. It hurts worse than the incisions. I've had lots of surgeries and always had this pain in the throat. Must be the size of my throat or something. My doc. told me to gargle with salt Water and use Cepacol Spray on it. It also helps me if I take one of the pain meds. that was given to me.

Did yours begin hurting right after surgery or did it develop later on..as in days...after surgery? If it developed later, I'd definitely get in touch with my doc.

Hope it gets better soon.:cry

It developed later on. However, it has been getting better as the days go on. I'm being more mindful on a daily basis to see if it's getting better. I think it is. Some days it does bother me. Other days, I'm fine. I'm seeing my surgeon on Thursday. I will ask him if he thinks it's the band.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Two common things that can cause a sore throat daily for an extended period of time are post nasal drip (do you suffer from allergies/allergic rhinitis?) and acid reflux. Your doctor should be able to advise you on this. Good luck.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
