What is the lump feeling in my throat when I eat?

I'm 3 weeks post op. Most of the time when I eat something I get a lump feeling in my throat like something is "stuck". It happens sometimes when I drink also. I don't gulp, I don't drink while I eat and I don't feel like I'm eating to fast. I hurt so bad the other day, I had to lay down for an hour before it passed. My doctor's "fill in" said it is from the NG tube they had down my throat and it is still swollen, but that was weeks ago. Does everyone experience this? When will it pass so I won't have that feeling when I eat or drink? Thanks : )
