Lump in throat, possibly bubble air stuck?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

new here. I was banded in 2015. My band was recently too tight after a full which left me unable to drink Fluid. Had fluid removed and all going since then. Able to eat as normal as any band patient.

during the weekend I experienced a major espisode when some food got stuck. I was vomiting a lot to remove it. Since then I can feel a lump or air stuck in the bottom of my throat. It's only slightly painful but mainly uncomfortable and I need to burp a lot. Does anyone have any ideas how I can relieve this pain? Or what it could be?

thanks in advance

Hi, banded 11/30/2016. I don't know if this is the same thing, but a few months ago I had a similar problem after eating shrimp. I didn't chew well enough and was probably eating too fast (one of my main issues!). A restless night followed by the next day a feeling of an uncomfortable "lump" in my throat even when drinking sips of Water. I got in to see my surgeon that day, he sent me for an upper gi. No blockage was seen by that time. He had me do Liquid Protein and soft foods for 2 days just to calm things down. I have been fine since then. He truly believes that it was a bit of shrimp temporarily stuck. I don't know what you ate before this happened. He told me shrimp is a problem for a lot of patients, but I can eat it if I chew thoroughly like we are supposed to. I hope this helped, best wishes for your journey!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
