I have been banded for 6 months. I am doing really well with the band. I had my last fill 3weeks ago. Everything was fine until I woke up this morning with the feeling like something is stuck in my throat. I can eat and drink but that feeling will not go away.

Any advice out there?

If it persists call your surgeon! Good luck!

Thats strange. Is it causing you pain or making you nauseous? If so, you should definitely call your doctor (or maybe just all anyways to be safe). Good luck!

The only time I've read that someone has had that feeling of something stuck in their throat when they haven't eaten is right after their band surgery. Like the others said, I would call the doctor. Maybe it's nothing, or it could be a signal that your band is a little tight.

Hi my name is Judy they call me sweetjudy, why I don't know... Any way i had lapband done in late July this yr. This is my third fill and I am having a very hard time... I can not eat anythink two bites if... I think it is also a mind game, I know when I use to eat and what I could now it is so hard... I only lost 11 pounds and when I went back for my third fill I gained 5 ozs. I was so upset... I can use all the help and support I can get.:) I thought by now I would be at least 25 pounds down... What am I doing wrong.. What do you all eat and how often. Help!:confused:

Hi Judy. Welcome to LBT.

When did you get your last fill? If it's been longer than a week or two, you're too tight since you can only eat two bites of food. Are you eating soft foods? They often have more calories and don't give long lasting satiety.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
