I had my surgery on Wednesday, August 5th. While I was in the hospital, I kept complaining about something stuck in the back of my throat. I told multiple nurses and no one took me seriously. After I got home, I started having more issues where it was difficult to swallow my pills because it was in the way. I went to an urgent care today who told me that it is my uvula and it's extremely elongated. He recommended I go to an ENT. So I called my doctor and explained the situation and I am waiting for a call back. I think it is a problem from the intubation. Has anyone else had this issue?
