I have not PB'd or vomited once since having my revision surgery on 2/27, but I feel this thickness when I swallow, like it almost feels like there is a mucus buildup. The thing is though that I don't have a cold/cough or anything, so I can't attribute it to that. All of my food/liquid goes down fine, but it just feels tight when I'm NOT eating--is this weird? Is it all in my head? lol. Can anyone relate?!

That lump is a sign of being too tight, but since you don't have other symptoms of being too tight, you probably aren't.

Probably better to check with your doctor who will be able to do an exam and evaluate the entire situation?

Why did you have to have revision surgery?

Hi Ebar,

I was also banded by Dr Fielding and fortunately have not vomited or PB'd yet. I am 6 weeks post op now, and have been steadily loosing weight. All my fdoods/liquids go down ok, even though I know I am not eating/drinking as slowly as I should be. I always seem to have an urge to burp (small one, not PB), especially after eating. Last Thurs I had an urge for steak, and tried a small piece. I cut it in very tiny pieces & chewed it at least 30 times. It all went down ok, and afterwards I burped. Since then, I have been able to regularly have small burps. Go figure...
