Well.. I had a TT 3/27/08 and I am clearing my throat too! I dont know if its a habit or I am really trying to clear something. Just another bad habit I am finding myself doing sometimes. I find that if I focus on it and keep doing, it is so much worse..
After going to bed after doing this, I find my throat feels fine. Weird!
Oh God, Daisy, dont tell me this feeling is going to last for years! Please see my post that is called "two weeks post surgery - fullness is throat" just down from your on the first page of the forum.
I'm sorry I dont have any answers for you, however, apparently it is common after surgery.
