Post-op Sleeve - day 2, lump in throat.... Help.
I am post-op, day2, VSG on 10/30/14.The nurse came to see me right before I was discharged and removed my drain line. Ever since then, I feel like I have a lump in my throat... Almost like there is something stuck there. Could she have realeased some gas from my abdominal area and it forced its way up? I feel like I have something stuck in my throat. What should I do? Help please. Walking and moving around is not working.

They put a tube down your throat during surgery. It's probably just swelling. Gargle with wam sal****er

it could be acid reflux,which is a big side affect of VSG. Are you on a PP I,like Nexium?
I am not on an acid reflux pill. It is weird because once it gets past that lump, everything goes down smoothly the rest of the way. I am going to hope that it is just swelling from the tube down my throat and it goes away shortly. If it does not, I see my surgeon on 11/11/14 for a post-op appointment.
