having a lump in my throat for past 3 days



Recommended Posts

in the past few days i have this lump in my throat, it feels like a peice of bread. i think that i will call the doctors tomorrow but what could it be? its not in my esophagus like when you get food stuck or when you eat to fast or much. it feels like my epigotis is sticking to the back of my throat. it may not even be related to the band but has anyone else had this happen?

The back of my throat feels a little funny also, almost like there is something stuck and I am on liquids only so the only thing I can think of is maybe the breathing tube scraped something and it is healing? I had surgery last Monday and it just started today.

I had the same sensation BEFORE and after surgery for awhile. It was related to reflux/GERD. They called it Globulous Sensation.

My doc thinks all the milk I was drinking with my Protein Shakes irritated my GERD. (I'm not normally a milk drinker)

If you just had surgery, it could be from the breathing tube. It could also just be a new sensation from the band. I still don't have any restriction but I've heard other people mention this feeling with new restriction.

i went to my family doctor today and she really didnt have an answer she said it could be acid reflex which suprises me because im not burping and my stomach doesnt hurt, i used to take protonix years ago when i was taking meds and it bothered my stomach. the only thing i can think of is on friday i had dry heavs and shortly after that i felt a lump in my throat. i just want it to go away its so annoying.

I saw my PCP twice and she was no help. I ended up going back to my gastrologist.

Since it was after a stuck episode, did you call your band doc?

Hope you feel better.

I had reflux during my pre-op barium test and they found a small hernia. I had heartburn only a few times a year and never was on medication. Never bought a TUMS. But is it possible you have a hernia still and that it wasn't repaired? Hiatal hernias are very common among the overweight and obese. The surgeon will repair mine during the lapband surgery next Wednesday.

Best to you all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
