<p>whenever i move from a position i've been in for a while or when i swallow and whenever i burp...i get a sharp pain in my throat. feels like pressure ready to explode...is it from the tube they put down my throat and the gas?</p>

I did not have that, so i can`t say. If it persists you should let your doc know. How long have you had your band? Donna

:help:i got banded 11/19...whenever i sleep or sit, i get up to sharp pressure pain in my upper throat...it occasionally happens when i swallow and always when i burp. plus sometimes i salivate uncontrollably..very, very salty tasting...i havent eaten anything since the surgery except a half cup of green tea, a half cup of chicken broth and about a half cup of sugar free jello.

Hi Mike. You should probably call the doctor to ask if what you are experiencing is normal. I'm sure he/she would know better than anyone on here! I hope you feel better! Let us know what he/she says.

I think it is most likely the tube that they put into your throat to breath for you while you are sleep. My throat was sore as was the roof of my mouth for afew days.

I had a swelling in the center of my chest that was the band I could feel according to my surgeon when I told him about it.

I am sure it is fine and normal, but always call the Dr just to be on the safe side.

It feels like the glands on both sides of my neck feel swollen. I was banded on teh 20th--has anyone felt like this before?

I was banded on the 21st and yesterday I had this awful pain in my stomach. Deep down it felt like a hunger pain and it made this horrible grumble but I had been eating and drinking all day. I'm assuming that it was from the gas because today I feel like a different person and haven't had any of those pains.
