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:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
