I had the same feeling...it was from the NG tube. It caused bruising and that is what made it seem hard to swallow or like a lump in your throat. I think it lasted almost 4 weeks before I didn't really feel it anymore. Open RNY 7-8-03

I agree about the comment about the NG tube. Mine left a feeling of a large lump also. It went away after several days. One day I just realized that it wasn't there any more.
