bulging feeling in my throat

I have been having this bulging feeling in my throat as if something is stuck in there. I even wake up in the morning with this feeling. What could this possibly be?

Also my 1st fill was December 19th. Now all of a sudden I am feeling so much restriction, I just experienced my first slime on Monday plus a PB. Why would all of a sudden would I start feeling like this? It seems as if my band has tightened even a month later and I haven't changed my eating habits either.

Does anyone have any ideas why or have any suggestions?

Thanks.

After sliming, pbing or all-out puking your stomach gets irritated and swollen making the band tighter. I experienced this last month. It was not good. Had to get a complete unfill.

I have experienced the bulging feeling in my throat quite often. I usually feel it after a fill or when I am full.

I have heard it is common for you to feel tighter a week or two after a fill. (I don't know about a month, though.) Also, you may be tighter in the morning or during your period.

I would call my doctor just to be safe.

I guess that the band is tight because TOM will be in town next week.

I am suppose to have a fill on the 26th of this month. I'll go in to see the doctor but I might opt out on getting a fill.

Thanks for your help

That's what she said.

OMG! just kidding.... couldn't resist...

Anyway, I think your stoma is definately irritated and you should be nice to your stoma. Feed it what it wants like warm liquids; tea, Water, coffee, bullion... Nothing harsh.

You'll be all good. If not, then you may need an unfill...

I am having the same feeling after my fill in mid November. I had a hiatal hernia they repaired at the same time so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I have heard when I lose more weight that it will go away or lessen.
