Hi, just wondering if any body had the feeling of having something in the throat? It's been like 4 days that I feel that there's something and I don't know what to do :(

Most likely swelling, and it should gradually get better.  It seems pretty common, particularly if you had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time as the sleeve.

Thanks... Hope it goes away soon :(... I did not have any hernia repaired :)

I just dealt with that today!

I took some of my afternoon vitamins, and they didn't want to go down. Took nearly an hour to feel right.

Reflux can feel like that. Are you on medication for reflux/GERD?

Yes, I take my pill in the morning... But it's so uncomfortable I feel like I have something half swallowed and at night feel likes I might choke... I'll give it a couple more days or else I'll go have it checked ...

Someone else posted about this feeling, and swallowing liquid with your head turned up and to the side was suggested.  I haven't had the need to do it myself, but it seems like a pretty easy thing to try.

It's been 4  days--not a couple of hours!  

Use some common sense and call your doctor when you have a problem and ask them what to do.   That's what they instructed you to do for any problems post-op.  

Take good care of yourself.
