I was banded on June 19 I have my check up on July 5

BUT starting last thur or FRi so a few days ago I started having like a burning feeling in my throat sometimes it feels like It is swollen sometimes it just hurts- like a horriable score throat.

At times it is harder to eat than others

Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone else have any ideas

My appointment is only 5 days away but that is a long wait if this keeps up

Thank you :ranger:

Sounds like you might be getting a throat infection. Might want to see your GP if it keeps up.

Look at your throat in a mirror, use a flashlight if you need to. Are there white Patches back there or is it just red?

I will look in the am or I will have my husband look when he gets up

Is this something that is normal to get a throat infection? do you know it is caused by?

I think I will give the doc on call a call when it is a decent time as right now it is 4am

Thanks

It probably has nothing in the world to do with the surgery. Just possibly a plain old regular sore throat.

I called teh doctor today and he said that I have Thush (not sure how to spell it)

He said that it was from some of the meds they put you on in surgery.

I am on difulcan for one month WOW and also I have to go back to liquids untill I can swallow without pain.

I hope teh meds will start working soon.

Usually with thrush you get either a white coating on your tongue/throat or white patches. It's kind of gross and you likely have a bad taste in your mouth but Diflucan does well.
