Still cant swallow

I have had LPR for two months and I am still unable to swallow without if feeling like somehting is getting stuck.  The lump has went away but I still have mucus.  

I have lost 30 pounds... Should I be able swallow by now?

I had gastrric bypass surgery sixteen months ago, Sunday I had really severe stomach cramps followed by constipation and straining to relieve myself.  My upper abdomen has been bloated and extended ever since. I haven't had a bowel movement since Tuesday.  This is Friday and my stomach is very bloated again.  I am having some gas.  GasX helps the bloating just a little.  What should I do.

hi, basically it depends on the healing process, some people heal quicker than others, in your case i would not leave it for very much longer, go back to your gp, cheers.
