Hi Melody:
Welcome to the other side!
I'm not sure how much help I can be re the throat issue since I only (!) had a one-level ADR and since I can barely remember the throat pain. I do remember being quite concerned before the surgery that I would have problems swallowing pain pills but this turned out to be a non-issue. I did have some soreness and used a throat spray for a couple of days, but despite having stocked up on puddings and soups, was able to eat solid food right away. There was a sensation of my throat closing up both while sleeping and in swallowing for several weeks. Almost a year later, all of that is a dim memory, so hang in there!
Are you having any problems with your voice?
Barbara
