Does this ever go away? Like the feeling your esophagus is closing while swallowing. I have it real bad in the morning when I just take a sip of Water. As the day goes on it gets better.

When you are sipping Water is it cold? I had the same problem and still do when i am drinking things that are cold. I drink water that is at room temp even now 2 years later.

If you are drinking it at room temp you might try warm or cold and see if that help. '

In the morning our tummies have to almost wake up so it always seems to be worse in the am.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, first thing in the morning it's cold Water. (Taking my pills) but today I had hot tea, and no discomfort!

I never had that exact problem, but I've discovered an amazing product that really resolve my digestive discomfort. It's called Ultimate Aloe and it's better than the Rx they gave me after surgery! Amazingly soothing for the stomach and rest of the digestive system! You can get it at this site: http://www.forbariatricpatientsonly.org/

I noticed that when drinking cold water, too. I had to switch to room temp water, which stinks because I do LOVE ice... I also seem to have a tighter pouch opening right after waking up, too. That first drink of water always seems to feel stuck for a few seconds. But after just a little bit, it seems to open right up. :-)
