Always having to clear my throat?

 I seem to have phlegm for hours after I eat anything..... does anyone else experience this?  This has happened since I had the band placed.  I thought that maybe it was from being too tight but it has always happened.  I always have to clear my throat and I always produce junk each time. I hate it.
Any suggestions?

Ask your surgeon about it next time.  I've never experienced that.

for me, it is a sign that I am just a little too tight ---- I have a drop removed and it goes away.

You might try taking Mucinex to thin the mucous - and see if that helps

I had it with a band and still do with a sleeve. It could be from several factors, in my case it's a form of reflux due to esophageal damage from the band.

Make sure it isn't reflux, are you on a PPI? If it goes away with a PPI then there is your answer and a slight unfil might help.

The band got me to goal, the sleeve will keep me there.

I am like Kath. It  has happened to me and both times I was a tiny bit too tight.

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
