Lump in throat
Good morning! Not sure if any one has had this problem, but I had VSG on July 9th I woke up this morning with the feeling that I have a lump in my throat/esophagus can't really pin point the exact local along with my left shoulder hurting, have some nausea, & diarrhea. Put a call into my surgeon but it seems to take a while to get back to me. A friend told me to check this site out and well here I am. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Warmest Regards,

I had VSG the day after you and have left shoulder pain too. I've read it's because of the gas they inflate your stomach with for surgery. I've been taking Tylenol and Gas-X and trying to move my arms as much as possible. My Dr. says if you are still on mostly liquids diarrhea is normal.
Good luck with the throat lump. Sounds uncomfortable!
My Dr. called me back and he said that the lump in my throat was partially due too the Hiatal Hernia repair, as for the Diarrhea he said the same thing as you. The shoulder pain they said was probably from the gas as you said and a pinched nerve from being moved around. Thanks for your input. Love this site it is very helpful!
