Lump in throats after surgery ?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys hope everyone's well , ever since surgery I feel like there's a lump in my throat like something's stuck I can't shake the feeling :( anyone have this same issue ? Not sure if it's from endoscopy that they did to make sure everything went smooth I'm just trying to feel normal again and this doesn't help

I had that and my throat was also sore for a week or so. Now two months out I still feel a bit of a lump bit it's not uncomfortable. I don't usually notice it.

I wonder if it's from when they do the endoscopy but that would of meant they were rather rough I say that only because the last one I had I was fine I didn't know if anyone else had the same issue

The breathing tube could also irritate your throat.

I have the same. It doesn’t mean they were rough, I guess. Yes, it has been irritated with pipes, plus you got your fluids through IV for about 2 days, and a few more days after you (most likely) was dehydrated. That’s a perfect condition to get some soreness or even mild infection. It should go away soon.

Lump in throat is a hallmark sign of GERD. When I first got GERD years ago I described it like feeling like there's a golfball in my throat.

Could either be new onset (or a bad flare up of) GERD, or possibly acid damage/swelling related to being under anesthesia

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
