Why am I coughing so much?

i am 4 weeks post op and i thought that food was getting stuck going dowm. i also have a terrible cough. i went to my internist and he said my lungs and sinus are clear. he feels the cough may be a post op issue either from intubation or reflux. i do not have burning reflux, i have had it in the past, so i know what it is. i believe i have figured it out. i dont think the food is getting stuck, i think it is backing up from my pouch being too full...i think i have excessive mucous, which i have read can happen from your stomach overproducing to help pass the food through.even though i am eating small amounts, i think the pouch is full of mucous before the food gets there and that is why i am having trouble. anyone know what i am talking about or had this experience or think it may be something else????? thanks for your help
