Hi everyone. I am 3 days post op from gastric bypass and oh my god... my throat is killing me. I was just released from the hoapital about 6 hours ago. As if the pain from the actual surgery isn't enough (I'm one of the unlucky ones who has had the misfortune of being dealt massive amounts of pain from this) anyways, long story short.. why on earth is my throat soooo raw and sore? Is it because I'm dehydrated and my mouth has been super dry? Could it possibly be from the tube they use while under anesthesia? Anyone have any tips to make it feel a bit better faster?

Most likely from the breathing tube during surgery. Mine was horrible. And if they kept you on oxygen during your stay it makes it worse. My surgery was Monday and my throat is finally starting to feel better. Eat ice chips and sugar free popsicles.

Yes; from being intubated. They also put an endoscope down to stomach during most of the RNY. Salt Water gargle will taste yuky, but help with the inflammation causing the pain. (AND the O2 is a drying factor).

Call your doctor. You may have thrush. This is common after surgery. There is a rinse they can prescribe that will help with this. You don't want this to get too bad.

My throat was sore too for days after the surgery. I was only in hospital about 24 hours total. But my throat felt like it used to when I had swollen tonsils.and was sick. it took about 4 days for it to go away. I'm glad to hear you feel better! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
