Asked By:Gladys3224 in Milwaukee, WI

I just had a tummy tuck, lipo and hernia removal. I would like to know if the tightness and discomfort of the throat is normal. I recently went to the emergency room because of this and they did ekg test, blood work and xrays. Dr told me everything came back fine. But this tightness of the throat comes and goes. What should i do? Is this normal after a tummy tuck?
