What am I feeling?

[Penweary 1]

Hey guys!

I am 2 1/2 months post op. I have 3cc in my 11 cc Realize band. I have not ever PB'd or had a stuck episode. Just once I had a bite go down 'hard'.

Just recently I started having this strange feeling in my throat, its as if something is stuck but nothing is. Every time I swallow I feel like my esophagus moves something down then back up. There is no pain at all just an annoying feeling. Alot of times it feels like an air bubble is stuck there and I have to try and make a burp. This gives me relief for about 30 seconds then that traveling heaviness is back again. Anyone got any ideas? I thought at first it was tightness related to my time of the month but that has now passed and my Water from that is gone so I don't know.

I read about esophageal spasm but most people say they have unbearable pain and like I said, there is no pain involved. I can eat and drink anything I want. It does seem to be more when I have food in my stomach as opposed to in the AM when I have yet to eat.

Let me know what you think. I plan on calling my surgeon about it this week.

Thanks,

Penny

I had something similar for a while. It can happen sometimes when you are too tight. It is a kind of referred pain. Apparently there is some nerve in the area of the stoma that is connected to the oesophagus.So although the problem seems as though it is in the oesophagus it actually isn't.

Sorry that doesn't sound very scientific but that was how it was explained to me.

Thank you SO much! So it may come and go? I have only ever had 1 fill of 3 cc, I skipped my last one because I get full on so little. I will talk to my doctor about maybe skipping the next one too. Sucks though, the first 90 days are free, after that I gotta pay outta pocket.

Thanks again!
