Problems eating after unrelated sugery
I am 5 months post op VSG. On Wednesday I had an unrelated surgery and since then have had troubles eating and drinking. Everything I eat or drink feels "stuck" in my esophagus. They said they would be putting a tube down my throat when they put me to sleep. Do you think that could be it? Just irritation from the tube? And that maybe it will get better after a few days? Has anyone else had this happen?
That seems pretty possible. You should call your surgeon and ask to be sure!

Thanks guys. I didnt call him because hes not the easiest to get ahold of and his office staff is ridiculous. (I was scheduled a couple weeks ago and called 2 day in a row to make sure the surgery could still be done since i had started my period and they never called back. So i show up to the hospital , they get me ready to wheel into surgery, IV and all, and the dr walks in and says "i cant do the surgery. Didnt my office call you?") So i didnt figure there was a need to call.
