I had that feeling my first week and I didn't get in enough fluids cause I was so sick and I had that feeling again for a day I ate something and It got stuck so I had to do a pb. It's probably mucus if you don't feel good. Usually with a pb I guess you don't really burp but mucus/slimy stuff comes up and the piece you ate. What made me feel better which I didn't want to do but couldn't be avoided tried to avoid it as long as I could and it just happened so it was like a vomiting but not actual vomiting nothing came up wish the feeling in my throat did. But after those episodes I started feeling better after I did that and I don't know why but that was my case with the stuck feeling in my throat sorry if I scared you ):

I dont think anything is stuck though as I am only 5 days post op - all I have had today is a bottle of Water, 1 Protein Shake, a glass of juice and a tiny bit of youghurt.

I had that feeling too my first week, it was the swelling, it just takes time to go down. if you are really concerned I would just call the dr's office just to be sure.

I've had the same problem for 5 weeks now. I had a barium swallow test and discover that I'm having esophageal spasms. am taking medine for it, past two weeks, but still having them.

Did you have a barium swallow test? Do you know whether or not you are also having esophageal spasms?

hope you get better soon, it is miserable to always be aware of the band...
