Throat discomfort after surgery

I'm 4 days post op and constantly feel like I have a pill or something stuck in my throat. I'm barely able to get my minimum water down and it's not necessarily painful, just uncomfortable.

Did anyone else experience something similar?

  • I had a surgery a couple of years ago (not vsg, that will be on the 16th Nov) and experienced the same. It was the equipment, for lack of a better word, which they put down your throat during surgery.

Have you talked to your Nut or Dr. about this complication? Could be scarring or Acid Reflux

It was the equipment, for lack of a better word, which they put down your throat during surgery. It’s a tight feeling where you have difficulty even swallowing your saliva. Mine lasted about a week.

Thanks! That's good to know. I've had a few other surgeries and never experienced this much discomfort. I'll keep hoping it goes away!


Before I went into the OR for my surgery, the doctor explained to me that some throat discomfort was normal because of the breathing tube they put in during the surgery. It will go away soon!
