Something Stuck in my Throat (worried)



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone, I am 4 weeks post-op and i keep feeling a lump in my throat. I have tried gasX strips, hot decaff teas, and hot lemon Water. I have been back in the hospital 2 times now because i feel like I am choking. My Dr. does a scope and fines nothing. I feel it it is hard to drink anything. He still has me on a liquid diet and he released all liquid out of my band. It is 2:37am and I can't sleep because i feel like I am always choking. I know this is suppose to happen after i get filled but why now. Does anyone have any help they can give me.

This whole week i cry to try to put myself to sleep but, it hasn't worked. Please help!

Dr. said he might have to remove the band which i don't want so please anyone with information please let me know.

Thank you,

Janie so frustrated and worried.

I know this reply is a little late beyond your message, but I was wondering - first of all - how are you doing now? Has this choking sensation been resolved? If not, has any of your doctors considered the possibility that you might have a hiatal hernia? The symptoms sound very much like what you have described. I hope and pray you are feeling better and this problem has been fixed.

I have the EXACT same thing going on. :thumbup: I have had this feeling before w/my thyroid but not quite this severe. My Dr. doesn't seem that concerned since I'm drinking/eating ok. Dr. removed 1.6cc's from my band 4 days post-op. I keep hoping it will go away and it hasn't. I think I'm going to call the office again tomorrow b/c I am miserable right now as I type this. I do know the more I stress about it, the worse it gets. Please let me know if your Dr. or you figure something out.:biggrin:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
